Marcel,

My BT-500 shows in lsusb as " ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd.", and
"hciconfig hci0 revision shows it as a BlueCore02 as follows:
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:60:57:32:96:0E ACL MTU: 192:8  SCO MTU: 64:8
        HCI 14.7
        Chip version: BlueCore02 (ES2)
        Max key size: 56 bit
        SCO mapping:  PCM

Does this mean I can update it? If so, where can I get that GenericCSR.dfu
firmware, and what can I use to update?

As for the MSI, the lsusb output isn't very promising ("ID 0db0:1967"), even
thoguh the output of hciconfig is similar:
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:10:DC:AF:E1:13 ACL MTU: 192:8  SCO MTU: 64:8
        HCI 16.4
        Chip version: BlueCore02
        Max key size: 56 bit
        SCO mapping:  HCI
