if you want a cheap one

look on ebay I paid about £3

Field Note #2 @nfoav8or 2008-12-28

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!)

Field Note #4 @Puttabong 2008-12-28

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 (1a handyshop.de/hama-bluetooth-usbstick-class-reichweite-meter-windows-2000-vista-bluesoleiltreibern-p-60951.html). 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).

Field Note #6 @archie79muc 2009-03-20

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