Which Dell Bluetooth adapter (350/355/360) is well supported in Ubuntu/Linux?
Hi all,
I just got hold of an Ubuntu Inspiron 6400 (and put Gutsy on it, runs great) and would love to add an internal bluetooth adapter to it. I've googled around for the three Dell models that exist and haven't found much with regards to Linux compatibility, apart from some horror stories of things not working etc and a Vista issue where the firmware on the adapter was updated, rendering it useless in Linux...
Has anyone got just a clear 'yes adapter 3xx works perfectly' answer? Is anyone using one of these adapters without issue? I'm hoping the 360 works as it seems to be 2.1 compliant.
Warm regards,
Neil.

I've ordered the 355, and actually, it was the cheapest of the three on eBay for some reason! I'll post my progress with it. Why Dell don't give you the option of having it built into the system here (in the UK) I don't know...
