I have a different solution for my GBU321 - which again, I bought because it's on the wiki (and I hope to add this note to the wiki, too).

I haven't tried to get any further, but I can at least do a scan and see my phone. Manufacturer: Broadcom Corporation lsusbīus 001 Device 004: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp. LMP Version: 2.0 (0x3) Subversion: 0x430e RX bytes:2437 acl:0 sco:0 events:84 errors:0

I am not opposed to heading out to track one down, but I thought before I do that I would put this out there for any comments or suggestions. Over the course of the last two weeks I have read every post related to Bluetooth on this forum and it appears that the common denominator linking success stories is the “Cambridge Silicon Radio” based dongles. Both the Belkin and Targus dongles I have been testing use the same Broadcom chip. I have just about narrowed the problem down to the Broadcom component of the dongle. I have tried to get Bluetooth working with the Arch distro, Squeeze distro, and now the new Wheezy distro with no success.
