Asus bluetooth device - 0x1712

[Da Rock]

Trying to get this device to work on my laptop (after some time of 
neglect - I've had no use or time to look into it as yet), but none of 
the drivers seem to be working. I've even tried the atheros driver by 
Rusty which doesn't appear to be the same device anyway.

Under usbconfig I get:
<vendor 0x0b05 product 0x1712, class 224/1, rev 2.00/19.15, addr 2> on 
usbus5

Any ideas?

Also, what is the state of bluetooth 2.x? Everything I've read has only 
mentioned 1.1.

Cheers
