    I'm trying to install the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 3.20.01 for WXP (US) from http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/download.php but it won't finish the installation. I'm using this version because it's the newest and because the Asus DL site is so crappy that it always indicates 24+ hours for downloading the available Bluetooth stack (my Asus utility CD is in another country). I've already installed the Wireless Console and turned on the wireless hardware switch. I read about the 10+ minutes installation, but after waiting 2 times (restart) 2+ hours it still hasn't finished.
    Does anybody have any ideas and if the problem is the version i'm using does anybody have an alternative to the Asus DL site?

    I have installed the Wireless Console, turned on the hardware button and checked in the console that it's activated. Can't find any other Bluetooth switches!?

    the way i installed it, i don't remember turning on the wireless console ora anything. shouldn't it be just the installation drivers?
