check with "hciconfig hci0 revision" as root what BlueCore chip is on it
and no, these are not the problematic dongles.

Actually it is not. The only problem at the moment is that the Bluetooth
module manufactures don't get the BlueCore4 modules done. After that you
will see them in the USB dongles and the CSR BlueCore4 already supports
EDR without any problems and so do BlueZ.
