you should also check

        http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html
        http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/csr.html

I prefer dongles with a chip from CSR, but the Broadcom based works also
fine. Don't take dongles with KC or Telencomm chips, because the one
that I have seen so far are buggy and don't conform to the Bluetooth
spec. If you plan to buy a CSR based dongle make sure that you get one
with HCI 16.4 firmware (or greater).
