I need to install the PPA and use cschramm's fix to get it working. Maybe my definition of "supports" is incorrect. I expect it to mean OTB, but sadly not the case. At least there is a way to enable it. Have you found this to be the case.
Hello!
I can confirm that it seems the Bluetooth patch was not incorporated into the latest update. I upgraded to 2.4 on this netbook via LiveCD, and had to run the Bluetooth patch on it to get it enabled. I suppose it's just as well, as not all Bluetooth adapters are supported on Linux.
The super-cheap dongles from China ($1-$2 range), work like a champ. Older Broadcom-based adapters, such as the Targus ACB10US1, ARE suppoprted with the Broadcom patch, but some newer ones made by Broadcom won't work in ANY version of Linux until Broadcom writes and releases firmware drivers for them...
