Linux compatible? Anyone had experience getting this dongle to work under linux?

I'm currently using this adapter with Ubuntu Dapper to transfer files to/from my iPaq 2495b. It was a little bumpy setting up, but this guide did the trick for me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup

It should treat the box as an external sound card. In this case, it should work. Linux has OOB drivers, unlike Windows and the need to download and install drivers. This being said, it should work with Linux.

Yes. I have a bluetooth in my desktop system and it works with that too. No dongle needed.

I haven't tried it with Linux...yet. Haha. I'm guessing you wont have many problems.

It works great with Suse and Open Suse Linux with no problems using standard drivers installed with linux -- I don't use the Setpoint, so I can't speak to that issue

Add to my previous response that component your need is referred to as a "dongle".

I could not get either to work but I do have a Bluetooth with USB bluetooth dongle and it worked well. My standard USB controller worked much better. As well as my USB keyboard vs the Blue tooth one. But my dongle is version 2.1v

Hi! We don't have a driver/software for Linux that will work with this adapter.

Hi, I use it with Linux but the Info I have is 0x067b for the vendor, 0x2303 PL2303 Serial port, V4.00. I have had no problems with it so far. Mark

I am using it with Ubuntu. It works fine. Just remember that it is a TTL logic USB to serial converter. Check that is what you are looking for before buying this.

I believe this wireless NIC uses the ath9K drivers under Linux, which means it should probably work with most distributions right out of the box.

I just used an old router power cable. About the drivers, I still haven't gotten them to work. In order to use them with RasPi, you have to re-build the kernel. They don't tell you that in any of the info.If you do buy it though, could you please email me a copy of the Linux drivers from the disk?

I have Windows 8.1 and the dongle works, no problems. I did need to install the software (CD was enclosed with the dongle), but it took just a couple of minutes and it has been working great!

As long as your PC detects this as the sound output / input it should work without any problem, I had lot of challenges with this in PC (esp linux) as the dongle was keep disconnecting. You should try its recent versions or get logitech brand.

The disk that came with mine had only Windows drivers. The pertinent question is what is the chipset used in this Bluetooth device, because Linux drivers will be written to the chipset, not to the brand name on the outside of the device. The device looks like a Broadcom BMC20702 device to Windows, so I would look for drivers for that device. That does not directly answer the question but it is the best I can do.

I can't confirm for Linux, I use mine on an older Mac Pro running MacOS-X 10.7.5. Works well for me.

I've used it with windows 7, 8 and a few flavors of Linux. It's a standard controller device. Probably works on OSX also.
