Subject: [Bluez-users] easiest to configure usb dongles

Could anyone, name me a couple of bluetooth usb
devices which work well with bluez? I know there is a
features list out there which has some 100 usb devices
with the ones with hci field filled, working on bluez.
what i want to know is which are the ones which work
most easily with bluez with minimal work from my side.
i am relatively new to linux and want to make sure i
can get that thing working as fast as possible and
take it from there. and since i havent bought them
yet, this is a good time to receive some advice. any
recommendations on whether the 10m or 100m range ones
are better are most welcome.

Vinod

to make this clear for others, this is nothing against Broadcom (or any
other chip manufacturer), but their chips/firmware have serious problems
in some cases. In some cases they violate the HCI specification and all
details about it can be found in the mailing list archives. The CSR
chips are known to work best with Linux and BlueZ.

Marcel

Hello Vinod

I think you'll be best served with a broadcom chip. The rainge doesn't matther.

The D-Link DBT-120 (10m rainge) or the MSI pc2pc (100m rainge) are
absolutely problemless.


regards
Marco
