Any Bluetooth USB DOngles that support PAN for Mac OSX?

Since there is no PAN profile on Macbooks, I was wondering if there are any USB Bluetooth Dongles for Mac OSX that support the PAN profile? Or do they just use the native Mac OSX drivers?

Anyone seen this around?

I installed the seeded build for OSX 10.4.9. There is now pan built into OSX and it works fine with my blackjack. You can find it somewhere I am sure, or just wait til the put it out. Very stable to me.

Ok - so I downloaded 10.4.9 and voila! it does support PAN as a Bluetooth profile! Now, I can connect to my Mac via Bluetooth on the road.

The .dmg was a delta release and installed smoothly ater which the mac restarted and when I enabled Bluetooth - it showed the Personal Are Networking support.

From the Blackjack, I ran "Internet sharing" and it asked me to select PAN from the laptop (macbook here) and all I did was select it under the Bluetooth menu and I was all set!

So, guys, wait for 10.4.9 :-) Thanks for the tip kingharrison!
