Hello,

well, in general yes, but there are few exception. i always recommend to 
check the following page

http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/devices.html

if the driver column has 'hci_usb' then the usb device will work.

thanks,
max

p.s. it would be nice to have similar page for FreeBSD, anyone?
