Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card problems fixed!

[mccoady]

I just got my 370 card today but I'm a little confused on which driver somms was advising to use:

Instead, use a newer Broadcom Bluetooth driver 6.1.0.5100 driver from here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...cid=MIGR-70997

or

Widcomm Bluetooth Software v6.1.0.4700

Can anyone help?

6.1.0.5100 would be the latest Widcomm bluetooth driver compatible with Dell Wireless 370 and 410...

Thanks somms that what I thought but I remember veritas72 saying :"the only problem with using this driver rather than the dell specific one is it does not seem to enable the function to right-click and disable the bluetooth adapter . on a laptop, that is not good."

So are you saying with the 6.1.0.5100 driver you are still able to right-click and disable the bluetooth adapter?

I have a Dell M4300 workstation. We plugged in the 370 WPAN minicard, but it is not recognized. Also, there are 3 loose wires (white, gray, black). The wireless minicard has a black and white wire attached. The 370 chip only has one wire connection, but the manual doesn't show this connection. Does anyone know which of the 3 wires would be correct? or is it possible that no wires are needed after the chip is seated in the slot?

I wanted this module since is supposedly windows certified and I didn't see this for the 360. Blackberries don't recognize BT drivers that are not Win certified, like the Toshiba BT stack....at least this is what I read on another board and so far my BB won't see the BT chip in my other laptop with a 355 chip.

Hi Somms,

Q1: So is this 6.1.0.5100 the upgrade for Widcomm Bluetooth Software v6.1.0.4700? So, it works with Vista Home Prem. SP1, 64-bit!

Q2: Do you have a link to 6.1.0.5100 or is that the same link from Lenonvo that you had posted earlier!?!?

Thanks,

G!

Thx somms; is there anyway to install the BT 370 drivers without the rest of the WIDCOMM software like PIM, audio, headset etc?
In other words, just the drivers for the BT 370 + Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator so they show up in Device Manager?
x64 Vista SP1 here.

Updated WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software v6.2.0.8500 driver!
