    Alternatives:

    1. The drivers should be on the supplied CD.

    2. Use the drivers from the Asus website. If there are no BT drivers listed for the W3V you can use the package from another recent BT-enabeled model like the M6V.

    3. Install the Microsoft BT stack that is included in XP SP2 if you use a modified .inf file.

    4. Download the most recent BT stack directly from Toshiba if you modify a line in the .inf file.

    5. Use a modified Widcomm/Broadcom stack (may have questionable legality).
