Hi Jesse,

I recently bought an Anycom USB-240. It ships
with BT 1.1 firmware, as depicted below, but
it *should* be BT 1.2 capable hardware.

My interest in Bluetooth is primarily tied to
audio right now. I've been doing a lot of work
with SIP phones lately so I've ordered a BT 1.2
Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset to play with.
It should arrive in a week or two.

Anyway, the Logitech headset is BT 1.2 capable
so I'd like to upgrade my USB-240 firmware to
1.2 also (freq hopping to avoid my 802.11b nets,
etc...), but this post on the Anycom website
claims that the USB-240's headset and handsfree
profiles don't work well under Linux with BT
1.2 firmware:

So in the interest of NOT frying my shiny new
USB-240, does anyone on this list currently use
a USB-240 with a headset or handsfree profile
device? Which firmware do you use?

if you wanna play with audio then you should better buy a dongle with a
CSR chip.

Well, my headset arrived today and is currently in it's 4 hour
charge cycle. We'll see if the Anycom is Anygood for audio. :)

Also, if I *do* decide to upgrade the adapter's
firmware, am I likely to have better luck with
Anycom's firmware via a Win32 install? Or with
Bluez supplied firmware? Does the Bluez firmware
even work with my Silicon Wave chipset?

As far as I know these Silicon Wave chips are ROM only version and so
you can't update the firmware. However I don't even know of any firmware
updates for Silicon Wave.

Unfortunately, according to Jens in this thread:

You are correct. I'm interested in playing with this
device, so maybe they'll have some documentation
available.
