* Swann USB Bluetooth adapter (1.1). Really an ISSC adapter. Comes with old version of BlueSoleil drivers, can [http://www.bluesoleil.com/download/index.asp?topic=bluesoleil_edr download new version]. Both old and new versions work fine, except both reboot computer if you try to read wiimote serial (Serial number is disabled in GlovePIE 0.24 for this reason). Works better with Widcomm stack. Will not work on Vista no matter what you do.

* Motion Computing LS800 internal Bluetooth adapter - Cambridge Silicon Radio BC417 (CSR BlueCore4) VID_10AB&PID_1005&REV_1657 - Works with Toshiba drivers (Tested on Vista, should be fine on XP too). Microsoft Stack on Vista can read buttons, but cannot read gyrometer, VGA cam, battery, and cannot set LED's or rumble. Nunchuk not tested, but expect that it works with Toshiba stack as everything on main controller functioned fine. Also tested BlueSoleil drivers but could not get them to recognize BlueTooth radio, despite the fact that the VOIP version for Vista says CSR only. Toshiba stack need not be purchased as Toshiba stack is the official stack for the LS800. Motion Computing recommends Microsoft Stack for Vista currently because of a "known issue" with Vista and Toshiba stack, however no problems have been encountered using the Toshiba stack on Vista

:* UPDATE (4/05/09 and 7/06/09) After some further tries actually this device WORKS with BT 1.1 old win stack (even if you have also installed BT 2.0 of Toshiba at the same time) BUT you must remember, even once you have had it paired at least one time, to always use the "Add device" command, even when the wii icon is visualized among the previosly recognized devices. If you repeat the pairing procedure -KEEPING IN MIND TO RE-PRESS THE 2 WIIMOTE PAIRING BUTTONS (or the single one on the back) IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 4 BLUE LEDS WILL TURN OFF STILL WHILE DURING THE PROCESS- you'll be always able to finally connect to the wiimote via GlovePie. The regedit key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Enum\BTHENUM\{00001124-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}_VID&0002057e_PID&0306" will continue to add +1 known devices, but my experience left room to at least 50 instances without futher problems, and if there will be a limit we'll always be able to restore a previous registry backup with a smaller number in this particular key (manually in realtime you can't because the key is locked by the system).
