Yep, I have one working here. The purchase decision was based purely on
the fact that it was the cheapest I could find on ebay. I beleieve all
the USB ones are supported by the same driver (hci_usb.o).

It's a Mitsumi and it (mostly) works a treat.

The only thing I had to do was botch the PIN helper to get the pairing
to work properly. The connection daemon expects a helper application to
write "PIN:123456" to stdout, but the pygtk application to prompt you
for a PIN didn't work for me, so I replaced it with a trivial shell script.

It's best to leave Bluetooth support out of the kernel and build the
bluez stuff from bluez.sourceforge.net.
