[Bluez-users] Any suggestions on good usb dongle?

[Peter Andersson]

Hi!

I am in the progress of buying a new usb dongle to setup wireless
networking between my laptop and stationary computer. I currently own a
belkin F8T001 which works fine but it is hell to get it initialized
properly. Usually i have to connect and re-connect it a couple of times
before the computer recognize it. So what i want is a dongle that works
perfect without huzzle. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Another question i have is if it is possible to setup "pan" without a
access point? And what about security issues? If i setup pan are there
ways for me to control who gets access to the network? Something similar
to mac addresses in "regular networking".

Regards

Peter

Too bad you didn't get the f8t003. it works fine for me without any 
wacky initialization.

after i paid $40 for my f8t003, i had a belkin bluetooth mouse passed 
"down" to me because it didn't work consistently for mac users in my 
building. what would you know but it comes with its own (f8t003) dongle.

Hello,

I use a D-Link DBT120 (available anywhere, Buy.com, CDW, Amazon, etc...) 
and an Alps UGZ that work flawlessly.  Both are CSR based...

Regards,
Scott

Note that not all DBT-120 dongles have CSR chipsets. Revisions A1 and A2
use the Broadcom chipset, though they also work. If in doubt, consult
Marcel's exceedingly handy hardware support list:

Marcel: Thanks for compiling this. You probably saved me about a
hundred dollars worth of trial and error.
