    Hello,

    I have an HP dv7t notebook, and I am interested in adding bluetooth connectivity to it. I know that special little USB dongles are available, but I'd highly prefer to add bluetooth using the actual card/piece that the manufacturers use.

    Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has successfully added a bluetooth card to an HP dv7t or similar HP notebook?

    Also, I found this bluetooth card & connector. The listing says it is for my notebook, and from looking at the HP Parts website, there *is* an external module that can be purchased for it. For what it's worth, that part number is 483113-001.

    Thank you in advance. :)

    You might have better luck trying this in the _HP forum, as it really is an _HP-specific issue, not so much a general networking/wireless issue.
