-A firmware update is available for this adapter from IBM.<br>
+A [http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/tpbtfw1g.exe firmware update] is available for this card's Bluetooth controller. Unfortunately, the firmware update can only be applied under Windows 2000 and above. Other operating systems are not supported to allow the firmware update to run.
-This firmware update can unfortunately only be applied from Windows.<BR>
+An unofficial work-around for Linux exists, but this has not been confirmed to work and may potentially brick the Bluetooth controller. The work-around is simple. By using the firmware .dfu file provided by the Windows utility and extracting it with cabextract, the firmware image itself should be able to be flashed by the btdfu tool in Linux.

-In theory a Linux exists for that purposes, the BTDFU update utility that can be found on the pages of Marcel Holtmann, the current Linux BlueZ stack maintainer, which can be found [http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/dfu.html here]. You need to get the original IBM update file and extract the file with the extension "dfu" from it using cabextract. Using the btdfu tool and this file it should be possible to update the firmware. This procedure has not yet been confirmed.
