Hello,
I have an Itronix XR-1 laptop that I installed an Intel Centrino wireless-n 2230 mini pci-e adapter.
The Laptop is running Windows XP Pro and mainly used for GPS vehicle navigation. (Rarely goes online)
I have a Bluetooth wireless GPS adapter with ext. antenna, that I've used in the past with a USB Bluetooth Dongle.
I'm trying to switch over to using the Intel Centrino 2230 (bluetooth) as it's my understanding the 2230 is a combo card with both wifi and bluetooth.
The product brief shows the 2230 has Bluetooth capabilities, however I'm not able to find any detail how Bluetooth is accomplished using a 2230?
Bluetooth 4.0 * (Low Energy) Dual mode Bluetooth
Connects to Bluetooth enabled devices such as a headset, keyboard, mouse and more,
including Bluetooth low energy devices
I don't use this laptop to connect to the Internet via WiFi so the 2230 adapter will be mostly used to connect to the Bluetooth GPS receiver and possibly other bluetooth devices such as a cell phone.
There are bluetooth drivers installed for a USB Bluetooth dongle.
Intel's 2230 drivers were installed from the file "WIFI_WinXP_32_15.8.0.exe" downloaded from the Intel site.
