ytrox Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi guys I'm looking for a bluetooth dongle which supports bluetooth 4.0. IOgear 4.0 (GBU521) link may be a solution. what do you think about it? experienes? there are other compatibles dongles in stock?

Hugo_bee Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Delock usb dongle 4.0 It has broadcom yhe same as mbp2012 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/278880-bluetooth-40/#findComment-1834867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dta Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 They are all pretty much the same ... I have a Digitus DN-30210, you get it in Germany, it's basically the same as Delock or this one here: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Dual-Mode-Bluetooth-4-0-Micro-USB-Dongle-Low-Energy-Technology-Wireless-Adapter-/290745793552?pt=US_USB_Bluetooth_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item43b1ccbc10. But there are a lot more that look exactly the same. They are not going to work OOB in Lion, you have to edit the kext file ... also there are some issues if you want to use it to wake up from sleep. But they are definitely working OOB in Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion has official OOB support for these 2 dongles: http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-Bluetooth-Micro-Adapter-GBU521/dp/B007GFX0PY http://www.amazon.com/Medialink-USB-Bluetooth-Adapter-Technology/dp/B004LNXO28 But as I said a lot more are working if they have the same device id (for example Delock, Digitus).

Hugo_bee Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Indeed In lion i had to inject the plust of broadcom plugin inside iobtfamily But in mldp4 and above you see there's a method/clasd called btblabla4.0 And that's mean that the binary in the mldp4 is totally different Also: the device..in lion i cannot disable/enable the flag in the ctrlpanel. In mldp4 yes.
