Bluetooth that works with headset?

[thenephilim]

Does anyone have a bluetooth adapter (PCIe or USB) that works fine with a Bluetooth headset?

I've tried all of the USB recommended ones including: GMYLE, IOGear GBU521, Asus BT400. They all show up in System information and the GMYLE actually allows me to connect to my iPhone but no luck at all with the Bluetooth headset (Sennheiser), it's just never discovered. I can connect just fine to it from my Macbook & iPhone.

I've seen at least one more thread with someone else having the same problem with the GMYLE.

I've installed BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext in /L/E ... problem reporting info coming soon.

Curious that it appears to load the kext twice? And nope, it's not installed in two locations Unless my cache is screwed...

Shows up in System Information with the correct firmware version (c5860) but still, cannot discover my headset
