Any hope for headset and D-Link DWB-120M?

Here I am again, getting left behind while technology advances without me.
I've got a D-Link DWB-120M bluetooth adaptor which used to work fine with my iBook. But I bought a jabra headset yesterday, hoping to use it with Skype. Following instructions on these boards, I tried to update the btooth firmware, but it wouldn't do it, didn't seem to recognise the adaptor at all. Then I tried pairing the headset with the iBook anyway, but "headsets not recognised", or something like that.
So, is there any chance of updating my bluetooth system, whether on the adaptor (which d-link have now stopped doing tech support for) or by downloading some other update? Or do I have to give in and buy another adaptor, since the DBT-120 is the only one that seems to work?

Cheers,
Suz

Using a headset needs several steps even needed if you have the latest computer or Mac OS X release. Please make sure to follow them in order.
  1. Download the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater
  2. Install it
  3. Launch it from Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth Updater
  4. Apply it to your adapter (takes very long).
  5. Start the Apple Bluetooth Assistant and select Headset. Do not use anything else!
  6. Make your headset Bluetooth visible. Look up the manual of your headset how to do that.
  7. Now select the headset in System Preferences > Sound.
In most cases step 3 is missed. You have to start the installed updater yourself (do not ask me why).
