i just bought a belkin usb bluetooth dongle for my Ti400. neither the bluetooth preference pane nor the menu item will allow me to set bluetooth to "Off". i'm thinking that maybe bluetooth is always on when you use an adapter, and you can only turn it off if it's internal. is this correct?

thanks.

I have a D-Link adaptor and can turn off Bluetooth. Both the PWR and LNK LEDs still burn though so I don't know what that actually means.
With internal Bluetooth you are obviously not bothered with burning LEDs when Bluetooth is off.
