Bloody hell Alex. I just took your advise and opened the dongle. And woah! It does say ASC AS3620QA. Presumably, these are bluetooth chips, but they do work with the CSR driver. That is a shock. I deliberately chose these dongles because they were advertised as being CSR.

I wonder if we can get an ASC AS3620QA driver (or is it likely that someone will develop one?), or have I been sold some dead ducks?

Mark.
