legousbtower kernel module

[Samuel Greenfeld]

I plugged a Belkin (Broadcom-based) USB Bluetooth adapter into two XO-1.75s
running reasonably current 3.0.19 kernels (on 11.3.1 os3x builds), as well
a XO-1.5 running a 3.3.2 kernel (on 12.1.0 os8), and all of them recognized
the adapter.

The driver used was btusb.

What build are you using and is this the Lego-supplied Bluetooth dongle not
working?

If it is the latter, I do not believe I have one available for me to test
with.
