I currently have a piece of crap dongle that requires some strange
voodoo* to work. I would like to buy a cheap one for the purposes of
transfering data to and from my cell phone, use wiimote on my laptop,
and finally a bluetooth mouse.
I would prefer a class 2 one that just plugs and plays with zero
commands. If required one that works after plugged in then running the
command "modprobe hci_usb reset=1"
Please only suggest in-expensive ones that you have personally tested.
Because I don't want to deal with returning a product bought online.
Canadian websites would be nice.
I found these on tigerdirect.ca if anyone has experience with them
Zonet - ZUB6212C - Class 2 USB 2.0 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter $20
Kinamax 328 Foot BT-USB - USB 2.0 Bluetooth Adapter $11 (not class 2
but I am desperate)
I only ask this because there is no where on the internet to find a
list of adapters and how the work under Linux.
*by voodoo I mean I can spend hours or days trying to get it to work
and nothing will happen. Then an hour after I give up and start just
web surfing it will just switch modes for no reason and work perfect
after I "modprobe hci_usb reset=1"

I've had the bluetake 009i for 2 years. I paid $20, it's a class 2,
and I currently use it interchangeably on my rhat9 laptop and
ubuntu7.04 desktop interchangeably.
They also have some class-1 and 2.0w/EDR dongles.

Class 1, good range, inexpensive, etc. Works for me on two different
Ubuntu 7.04 systems.
One caveat: on a P-III 700MHz system, it worked fine with no
problems. On my dual-Athlon 2GHz system, it only works *fully* if I
have it connected at boot time. If I plug it in later, I can see it,
and scan the neighborhood with it, but I wasn't able to get my Treo
650 to network with it. Other than that, no issues. Take that for what
it's worth, I guess.
