Bug#525220: Bluetooth problem caused by fake dongles?
Hello!
I also have a problem with Bluetooth. I have recently bought a new USB
dongle in the store (instead of on ebay) that does not seem to have this
problem. The funny thing is that the USB IDs are identical, so the two
devices claim to be identical as well.
What also makes me wonder is the fact the MAC address of my dongle does
not seem to be unique. I have several dongles, all of them have the
address 00:1F:81:00:01:1C. Google for it and you will find more people
that have dongles with the same address.
I came across the following blog that seems to confirm that there are
fake CSR dongles on the market:

Is it possible that all of us have bought counterfeit dongles?
Best regards,
Alex
