I bought a cheap Bluetoot dongle at Fry's a couple of weks ago. So far, I
have a hard time figuring out what you can do with it. I get a netofication
in both Gnome and KDE when the dongle is plugged in to the USB drive. But
other than that, I have no idea how to access it or do anything with it.
Does anybody have eny experience here? The device is recognized by the
kernel:

rebus at rebus:~$ /usr/sbin/lsusb
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 1131:1001 Integrated System Solution Corp. KY-BT100
Bluetooth Adapter

But beyond that, I see no way to do *anything* with it. Google searches
weren't a lot of help. I'm running Kubuntu 7.04 with the 2.6.20 kernel.
