Now have one of those i-tecs that we sent to you and some older Epox -- I guess we need to get some new TDKs (they're deployed in a live environment now) ... any other USB devices work well and let you upgrade firmware? Most other USB dongles suck.... I can't think of any disadvantage with the BlueCore01b based TDK dongle, but maybe there are some. The Anycom USB-100 is BC02 based and there exists an update to HCI 16.14. I haven't checked the differences between these two firmware version, but as I know they are the only two official releases from the HCI 16.x branch. The Broadcom based dongles were always problematic if it comes to scatternet and role switch support. Don't even try to get there any further unless you have a protocol analyser at hand and a good contact to Broadcom. The D-Link DBT-120 Rev. B3 can be updated with the firmware file from Apple to HCI 18.1 which then is also Bluetooth 1.2 capable. However I think the latest official firmware release from CSR is HCI 18.2, but actually I haven't seen any dongles so far. > Will let you know the results ... thanks -- if we can get this working on your advice, you'll get some Czech beer ;-) :) Regards Marcel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
