The short answer is NO, but I am lazy so if you look around REALLY REALLY hard you may find a hack.

See this link and have fun.

You'll lose a usb port though.

So there are no BT PC Cards? Lets see

3Coms

with
Card Blues

I bet there are a half dozen other combos like this.

This was posted few weeks ago, but i have some problem here

Crusoe replied me that i can download the card blues suite driver (from www.traud.de/bluetooth) to make the 3com bluetooth PC card (3CRWB6096B verison 3) work, however i have (3CRWB6096A verison 2) and i see no response, i mean i see the light on the card ON, menu bar shows the name of my PC card, but nth to let me control it.

i am new to mac so dont know too much about the OS, but i thought after you installed something like this there will be at least something in the application folder or in system preferences->other (like the sidetrack program). i even checked Utilities>bluetooth setup and it said no bluetooth hardware found. there are no instructions on the page, and it just say it will work for version 3 and nothing related to the previous verison, trouble shooting etc.

Anyone tried this software (card blues suite) before? or have problem installing USB or PC card bluetooth? usually do those bluetooth adapter comes with a software that lets you control your external bluetooth adapter, or you just use bluetooth serial utilities, bluetooth file exchange in application> Utilities?

i really dont know if it is my problem or that driver simply won't work with my verison. I really want it to work because i plan to buy a bluetooth mouse, and this is the only solution that i can avoid putting a USB bluetooth stick on the back of the Ti book (the flip at the back covering the port is so annoying), or else what's the point of spending $100 on a bluetooth mouse when you can do the same thing with a RF wireless mouse for $30?
thanks
