Believe me when I say I am no fan of Belkin gear.  Its very overpriced and often poorly made.  In fact I have hardly had any Belkin hardware that I haven't had to take back for not working as advertised (especially wifi kit).

A long while ago I was given a Belkin USB bluetooth dongle, which I completely forgot about, my wife washed my coat one day with the dongle still in it.  It came out quite badly scratched but in one piece, I shoved it in a draw and forgot about it.

Today I wanted to link up my new(ish) Sony K800i to my Dell D530 laptop which doesn't have bluetooth.  I remembered the dongle, dug it out and plugged it in.  2 shockers:

1. It worked perfectly!
2. Ubuntu saw it straight away and configured it!
