This=20 works fine, but make sure you have the latest Bluez libs. And make = sure you=20 have a

kernel=20 at least 2.6.20 vintage. If=20 not, then when you're running two simultaneous commands to =

two=20 different Bluetooth devices, you may get a kernel = oops.

Otherwise, its easy enough to write a multi-threaded = application that=20 addresses multiple dongles.

And it=20 works very well.
