Slackware 12.1

In order for the mini receiver that is included in the package to work under linux (at least in Slackware 12.1) you need to add a file under /etc/modprobe.d/ with the following contents:
options usbhid quirks=0x046d:0xc71f:0x00080000
In the internet I found reports that the keyboard works with any functional bluetooth receiver, but I have only used the included mini receiver.
The only quirk is that whenever you connect the keyboard to the charger it looses its connection to the mini receiver and you need to press one reset button on the receiver and one on the back of the keyboard. This is not very important since you need to do it about once a month with normal use (controlling a htpc etc.).
