 |
|
Hello all,
I am thinking of buying the Belkin Bluetooth USB adapter model F8T012. However, I haven't found any information around to suggest whether this device actually works without a problem in Linux. Anyone has any experience with this device?
Thanks in advance |

According to this ,the Belking adapter F8T012 is not supported. However, this hasn't been
updated since March. I was looking for this list, but I was endind up with a message saying that
this list was taken down! I will leave this thread open for a day or so, in case anyone has actually
used it and then I'll mark it solved. Thanks for the reply. |

| I haven't bought it yet! That's why I am asking to see if anyone has any experience with it, because I am thinking of buying it, but I don't know if it will work. It seems this is the only bluetooth adapter that most shops around here stock! And I don't really want to buy one online, unless I have to. |

I know, but I bought one a couple of days of ago (Linksys) and it arrived broken. The USB connector on the adapter would not connect properly to the USB port. So I had to send it back. Unfortunately, the retailer would not send a replacement, but rather refund the amount, which means that I would have to incur the delivery costs all over again. In short, I got a bit pissed off with the whole situation, and decided to see if I can find anything localy. I had a look in a few shops and that was the only brand and model I found (plus it supports EDR). |
