Sorry if this is a stupid question... does the T

Sorry if this is a stupid question... does the TC1100 come with BT capability natively? I just refreshed my machine (bad XP crash) and after installing all the drivers, the hardware detection says it is finding a USB and a Bluetooth device. I tried the drivers from HP but it tells me that the device is not activated after running the configuration program.

Do I need to buy a bluetooth card or something? I have a 802.11g card and when it arrived it had the BT user manual and install CD with it... are they embedded on the same card?

yes it does come natively. I'm not sure if is installed on the 802.11g card or not, though.

Hi Moas,

The bluetooth module is indeed separate from the 802.11 mini PCI card. The picture below came from the TCll00 Maintainance n Service Guide which was on the HP support website. I tried to find it again today but it seems that its been taken off the Server?

This may sound really dumb as I myself am a newbie having had my tablet for a few weeks, but did you go to the Q menu and turn your wireless on? I'm saying this because I spent hours trying to figure out why my 802.11 a/b/g card was listed as disabled after installing the Atheros software. Realized only later that the wireless button in Q menu activates both Bluetooth and the WLAN.
