By the way, while the bluetooth (2.0) spec seems to consist of a 1230 
page document that I am most certainly not going to study ...

... I couldn't help noticing that the HCI_Read_Local_Extended_Features 
command is in fact specified to return "The highest features page number 
which contains non-zero bits for the local device", and if I look at the 
above, it seems to indeed return max=0.

Is it as such not in fact the case that the dongle is spec-compliant, 
whereas it's the linux code that neglects to check that return value in 
order to make sure that it requested a valid page?
