Okay, here it is (after brief confusion when I wrongly thought the sticker had come off - I got the wrong set, oops).

ULT WEAR (40:72:18:F5:B2:58) WORKS on Windows, but does NOT on Linux.

ULT WEAR MKD (40:72:18:69:89:4E) does NOT work on Windows, but it DOES on Linux.

I surrender to utter confusion. I do not understand this at all. This is wacky even for me, and that's saying something.

BOTH sets work on the tablet - I looked at 'previously connected devices', connected one set, and one disappeared because of course it's connected now. Disconnect, connect the other 'previous' device - no prob, works perfectly. What's Android getting right that Windows and Linux are getting wrong?

One thing I could do but absolutely don't want to is to get a third set from a different manufacturer which will have a different name, it that is indeed the cause of the confusion (though with different MACs it shouldn't be an issue). But I don't want to because BOTH SETS WORK, FOR BELL'S SAKE!!! I thought it was only printers causing grief (though, trust me, they do!) - Bluetooth too?!
