if you start up Windows with the software for this dongle, plug it in
and make it discoverable. Then search with another device from another
machine and if you still see 11:11:11:11:11:11 as address, then you
should return the dongle.
There are ROM based dongles/chips where the host software has to set the
BD_ADDR. This is totally legal. However you mostly see this for chips
used in embedded devices and not USB dongles for desktop systems.
If you know the manufacturer of this dongle, then you might contact them
and/or public relations of the Bluetooth SIG.
Regards
Marcel
