[X4U] Bluetooth adapters and headsets

[Milton van der Veen]

I used a D-Link but it wouldn't recognize the headset until I had  
updated the firmware with Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2.
<http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bluetoothfirmwareupdater12.html>
Notes: "The Bluetooth Firmware Updater is for D-Link USB Adapters  
(revision B2 or later), and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on  
PowerBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, iBooks, and eMacs. This firmware update  
will improve connectivity between the computer and the Apple Wireless  
Keyboard and Mouse. Use this updater for the modules specified above;  
this updater is unsupported with any other Bluetooth modules.  
Important: Applying this firmware updater to a D-Link USB to  
Bluetooth adapter will make it incompatible with non-Macintosh systems."

Also, you might want to check to make sure your Bluetooth is updated  
to 1.5.

Hope that helps,

Milton
