Anyone know of any bluetooth pcmcia cards that support the HID standard for mice and keyboards? I have tried googling for it, but it seems that they are all for networking, etc. This happens to be for my wife's HP laptop, and I would just prefer to not have that damn usb dongle hanging off the back of the laptop. Call me picky.

Oh, yeah, I know this is a Mac forum, but I have never even visited a windoze one. I think I might get physically ill....

Thanks
Somewhere out there is my sanity..... but I'm not looking for it!

I'm still sorta looking for an answer to this as well.

I have PB Ti and want bluetooth, but would prefer to just have a card in the PC Card slot all the time, rather than have to bring a USB adapter with me.

I found one Bluetooth PC Card adapter on Mac Connection, but it looks to be Windows only (?).

Does anyone else have any experience with this? Thanks...

As far as I know, only USB Bluetooth adapters are supported on the Mac. (Even Apple's internal one is USB.)

As for Windows: :shrug:
