Hey! I recently bought a cheap chinese Bluetooth dongle. Works perfectly with windows 7. But when I plug it in Snow Leo 10.6.2 it recognizes the device and pops for setting a new network interface. I can see the bluetooth icon in the menu bar it also searches my phone s5230. But when I want to send a file via bluetooth it can't connect to my phone. What might be the problem, do i need extra kext to work this thing out :s

ok guys! I think it can't be solved, I m goinna buy new dongle. I just want to make sure that the new would work, as I told you I don't want to use keyboard and mouse I want Bluetooth file exchange to work, if anyone has a dongle that works with snow leo, please suggest one, but please check that file exchange works. The one I got is Crystal Silicon Radio.
