Do we need old driver? New works perfectly for me. What steps > you follow to configure it?

What is the point? As I've written before: 1. It was btsco I used the first time, and it worked. 2. Because the above analogy I thought my device is the "old SCO one". 3. Almost every HOWTO/tutorial online on configuring bluetooth headsets has a part with btsco. 4. Because btsco IS used in Ubuntu. Actually I don't care about Ubuntu itself but since it is more luser-friendly, I thought ... 5. Because not so long ago a new version of the graphical front-end for btsco has been released (releasing graphical front-ends for deprecated software seems a bit odd to me). That's why I thought it was a good idea. After your reply it seems it's not, thank you for clarifying that. > Can it work or can it be ported to use new driver? Apparently it does work, although one needs to run it as root (IMO it should use some kind of sudo calling mechanism automatically). It only works with btsco but it seems that he's planning to include A2DP support if future releases. It's just a wrapper to btsco, so without knowing the difference between the drivers I can't say whether it is possible, and if so, how hard/easy is it going to be - I'm not a programmer. OK, once again thank you for clarifying it, sorry for the nasty bug report. I guess I'll have to take a deeper look into it.
