Hi,

I’m sure this is a common question but I’m looking for a bluetooth version 1.2 device that works well with bluez and under a kernel not over 2.4.29 . Can anyone make a good suggestion. Options I have looked at so far include DBT-120 and upgrading firmware. Questions I have about that include, do I need a MAC to do this and will it work with 2.4.29 . In fact will it work with Bluez at all this way. The other device I have looked at is the newly SIG approved F8T009 belkin device. This seems to use Broadcom BCM2035 chipset. I think Bluez works when this chipset uses Bluetooth v1.1 . Is this correct? Will it work if it is using v 1.2 .

I really do need to get a bluetooth 1.2 device that works as I’m setting up a testbed for research here in University of Limerick, Ireland. Any suggestions on what device to buy will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Fintan McEvoy
