It is fully supported, but there can be problems with the firmware you
are using or with the interop to some other chips. We can't test this,
because we have no access to the link manager. From the HCI layer
onwards the Broadcom BCM2033 is fully supported.

I had the best results with a Bluetooth chip from CSR.
