What bluetooth usb stick for my GA-EP35-DS3?

hello,

my quadcore is running great using the kalyway 10.5.1 and updates to 10.5.3.
Now i need bluetooth for syncing my phone.

What usb stick works out of the box with my GA-EP35-DS3/kalyway?

I use the D-LINK DBT-120... works OTB for me with every distro I've tried (iAtkos, Kalyway, Zepyroth, Leo4All, iDeneb, LawlessPPC, iPC, etc... and Retail!)

Hi bartp,

I've used a small, blue one by HAMA in the past for my AMD OSx86 machine - it worked out of the box with zephyroth's distros.
Here's a link. I'm not using it anymore, though, so if you need it, I'm confident that it'll be in good hands.

If you like to have it (e.g. sent to you via self-addressed stamped envelope), don't hesitate to drop me a private message.

I was using MSI bluetooth (broadcom) which was working great. I can tell you exact model name tonight when i get back home. I just paid for it a bit more, it was around 30eur (but it was 2 yrs ago).

I am using a Sitecom CN-500 on a vanilla Leopard 10.5.6, works OTB, but does not have a very strong signal.
