[maemo-developers] USB Host - Class 1 Bluetooth

I am interested in using class 1 USB bluetooth adapters in Maemo.  So 
far I have flashed a 770 with the latest OS2007 hacker edition and 
enabled USB host mode. I have also built a power injector to provide 
attached USB devices with 5v. 

I am now looking at how to get a suitable driver for the hardware and 
then setting up BlueZ to use the attached adapter instead of the 770's 
internal class 2 adapter. 

Does this seem like a feasible approach to you Maemo gurus?  I'm getting 
better/faster at working in Linux/Maemo but progress is still slow.  Any 
tips greatly appreciated as they will probably save me a lot of time.  

Does anyone know of any people or projects attempting anything similar?  
I surely can't be the first to try this, other people must have looked 
at class 1 bluetooth for these devices.  If not is this interesting to 
anyone else?

Thanks,
Dan
