Hi Jean,

as I know there are only dongles with HCI 16.14 firmware available.

The D-Link dongle DBT-120 (Rev B3) can be updated using the Apple
firmware update file. After that it will be HCI 18.1 with default boot
mode set to HID. Maybe other revisions of the D-Link dongle don't work
and I already put some of dongles to death while playing with firmware
upgrade.

I never announced the new version of the btdfu, but now as you asked for
it, here it is:
http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/btdfu-0.3.tar.gz
Use it at your own risk, because you can kill your dongle !!!
Read what the CSR guys had written about signed firmware and that it is
not possible to move firmware from one manufacturer to another !!!
Regards
Marcel
