This is only for Bluetooth adapters with the following Product IDs: 0x8203 and 0x8204. And only for Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Computer, Inc.). You can check this in System Profiler under Hardware - USB.

And even then only if you haven't updated to 1.2 before...

So, what does it fix. I have Product ID 0x8203 in my PowerBook. I assume this fix isn't for the Bluetooth becoming inoperable without reselecting the Bluetooth controller with Bluetooth Explorer (in Applications/Utilities).
