Subject: [Bluez-users] Suggest a bluetooth dongle
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 11:11:27 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <231dafb50709181011n7b7286bua93f205f7878ab9@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I currently have a piece of crap dongle that requires some strange
voodoo* to work. I would like to buy a cheap one for the purposes of
transfering data to and from my cell phone, use wiimote on my laptop,
and finally a bluetooth mouse.

I would prefer a class 2 one that just plugs and plays with zero
commands. If required one that works after plugged in then running the
command "modprobe hci_usb reset=1"

Please only suggest in-expensive ones that you have personally tested.
Because I don't want to deal with returning a product bought online.
Canadian websites would be nice.

I found these on tigerdirect.ca if anyone has experience with them
Zonet - ZUB6212C - Class 2 USB 2.0 Bluetooth Wireless Adapter $20
Kinamax 328 Foot BT-USB - USB 2.0 Bluetooth Adapter $11 (not class 2
but I am desperate)

I only ask this because there is no where on the internet to find a
list of adapters and how the work under Linux.

*by voodoo I mean I can spend hours or days trying to get it to work
and nothing will happen. Then an hour after I give up and start just
web surfing it will just switch modes for no reason and work perfect
after I "modprobe hci_usb reset=1"
