I just got my bluetooth usb adapter and headset working on Ubuntu, which is AWESOME!!!! Now, I would like to try and figure out the model of my adapter to see if I can find a driver for Windows XP. The default XP driver works with the dongle, but it does not support headsets.
Here is some information:

I can see that the manufacturer is Cambridge Silicon Radio, but what is the model? Is it "Accel-OB2"? If it is, I haven't been able to find any drivers for it. The BlueSoleil driver works, but is not free. Is there any way to get more information about the dongle using Ubuntu?
If anyone is curious, here is the dongle that I bought: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11866 I really don't know if it is the best dongle, it is my first time using bluetooth. There can't be anything in the path of the dongle and headset, but reaches accross my bedroom if the path is clear.
