Karl> I need a blue tooth interface for my PC, and wondering if anyone Karl> has any brands, or hardware chip sets to recommend. I got one for my Linux box and while it works, the access to my Motorola v505 sucks, at least it used to, I haven't tried it recently. But the bluetooth stack stuff is a pain to work with at times. Also, you either want to plug the USB bluetooth dongle directly into a powered USB port, or into a hub with power. I'd tell you which one I got, but it's plugged into a non-powered hub and not showing up with lsusb right now. Karl> I will probably buy a USB or PCMCIA interface. Buying something Karl> USB though would allow me to use it in both my desktop and Karl> laptop, where only my laptop has PCMCIA. USB is probably the way to go here. Karl> Bluetooth devices i want to hook too, claims it is something Karl> like rs-232 serial output over bluetooth, but i gota figure that Karl> out. After that i may try with a digicam or mobile phone. I think I got a kensington. I'll try to send more details from home later. John
