I bought the TBW-105UB without really knowing if it would work in linux, but knowing that TrendNet has a good reputation for being Linux friendly. As usual, they continue to provide great products that work great in Linux. With Ubuntu (fully updated dapper on 20Apr2007) it was as simple as plugging the device in and answering a few questions from the prompt that popped up recognizing the new hardware.

About 10 seconds later, simply for 'testing' I copied a song from my Bluetooth Motorola GPS Phone (T-Mobile USA) to my Desktop. All went very smooth. Highly recommended as it works perfectly in Linux (Ubuntu at least) and was a breeze to setup.

Cool
