The adapters I have found so far are only for > Windows (Leadership and Apple). Thats quite exactly what I asked a few days ago. I'll post the answer I got from the list. Hope this helps you... My question was exactly: >> I'd like to buy an additional Bluetooth Dongle, >> because my Zeevo Chip Dongles don't work properly and I stressed my >> friend to long now by borrowing his CSR Dongle. >> So which chipsets exist at all, and is CSR the "all-time-best-solution" >> for linux? >> And last but not least, how can I buy a Dongle with the desired >> chipset? You normaly just see the manufacturers as Acer for example, >> not the chipset, don't you? Is it absolutely unimportant at all, if its >> Acer, Belkin, D-Link or what ever? And here the answer from Marcel Holtmann, who does the developing on the bluez stack: > the problem is the community support with chips from Zeevo and Broadcom > for example.

Well, bluez should work on your Linux, of course. If it does not run already, I suggest you should read some of the howto's on www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/ By the way, I bought the "Epox DG02A" (CSR Chipset) and I think it works better with Linux than my "Acer BT510" (Zeevo Chipset) -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
