I don't know anything about that, but I found that the charger I have
will charge the Neo both when it is totally dead and continue as fast as
my PC will do it.
And I only run Linux (friends don't let friends use Windows ;-) in my
home network.

That's interesting; I thought the issue was that Motorola chargers
have the RX and TX lines connected together, or something like that,
so the phone can detect that a dumb charger is connected (as opposed
to a hub that can't deliver 500mA). Are you sure you are getting
500mA from it? Then either yours must be a smart charger after all
(the phone can talk to it and get permission to go into fast_cccv
mode) or something has been fixed that I didn't know about... My
theory was that if the USB lines could also be used in GPIO mode, then
you can detect a dumb charger with a little bit-banging. I bet that's
what the Moto phones do (guessing).
I don't know about a car charger (I have dis-selected having a car :-)
so I can't advice you about that.
Motorola makes those too, but they are also dumb chargers (just a
regulator supplying 5V).
