    I wanted internal bluetooth but I didn't want to dig into the guts of my laptop and I found this card:

    WiFi + Bluetooth Combo Mini PCI-Express Card for Laptop (E16671)

    sold here: WiFi + Bluetooth Combo Mini PCI-Express Card for Laptop [E16671] : BestOfferBuy.com, Buy DVD, Shop for PC accessories, Discount MP3 Players, Bargain Deal for Surveillance Equipment, Cheap R4 for NDS, X-sim Unlock

    I slipped it into the 2nd mini PCI-Express slot and disconnected the primary and secondary wifi wires from the main card and connected the primary to the add-on card (it doesn't have a secondary wifi antenna connector).

    Windows 7 64 bit cannot find any drivers and the included driver cd is 32-bit. Anyone know where I can find drivers for this?

    I have a card ordered also and just realized it says 32bit also so i went searching for the 64bit drivers and found this Syntek Semiconductor Ltd one of those on that page should work for the 64bit driver for the bluew-2310u chipset. Let me know if that works
    Thanks

    gwen.morse...It is probably not a good idea to use your email address for a username. You will get loads of spam mail.
