Motherboard requirements for bluetooth dongle

I have a MSI 845PE Max2 motherboard (without bluetooth, firewire, LAN and all that).
I've now realized that it could be nice to have bluetooth and I've noticed that MSI offers some bluetooth items. My question is:
Can I get a bluetooth dongle (MS-6967 or 6970) and plug in the USB port, although the motherboard itself does not have bluetooth support?

Fantastic! Thanks a lot.
And I guess that if I had a "bluetooth" motherboard, I could get this other "module" MS-6968 and plug it in on the MB?

What is required for Bluetooth mouse and keyboard?

I am thinking of buying a wireless keyboard and mouse and want to make sure I can do it on this iMac G4 computer, bought in 2003. I ran the system profiler and see no information on Bluetooth. If I bought the Apple wireless mouse and keyboard and the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter, would that be all I need? Is the installation of these things straighforward so that I could do it at home? Is it likely to work well?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1 Ghz, 512 RAM

Hello James:
The Bluetooth dongle and the BT mouse and KB are the only things you would need. I found that setting up (pairing) the mouse and KB are straightforward and easy.

Need Vista driver for Bluetooth dongle model: TechBlue1

Hi,
I recently got given a Technika Bluetooth dongle, model: TechBlue1 and it isn't supported by Vista.
Is there any updates or drivers that will allow this?

{color:#800000}*The Technika TechBlue 1 dongle uses a TOSHIBA Bluetooth stack. It will only partially install under Vista and there is an incompatibility warning box. I have been unable to find the Bluetooth stack version number. Is there a patch or fix or Vista driver available, please Toshiba? This dongle is sold by TESCO, one of the biggest UK supermarkets and there must be a large number of these dongles in circulation.*

Requirement for bluetooth hardware

Perhaps something very simple is eluding me, but WHY do some files/"applications" require bluetooth hardware to be opened? I don't see any relationship between some of these and wireless connectivity.

Hi,
To be able to answer your first 2 questions, we need to know what is the model/product of your machine (DV6 is a series of hundreds or even thousands of models/products). Please use the following way to find out:

Passcode required for Bluetooth pairing

Hi,
I have a Nokia 6021 which I am trying to pair with my TomTom GO510.
The phone can see the device but when I request select pairing, the phone asks for a passcode. I have tried 12345 but it fails.
Bluetooth is enabled to ON.
Any ideas what the correct passcode is?
Thanks,
Gary

I think the passcode is not a fixed one.. you need to enter the same passcode on both the devices you are trying to pair, that's it. First enter the passcode in your device, the second device will then ask for the passcode for pairing, enter the same passcode u entered for the first one.. the devices will be paired if the passcode is same.. check it out.. If this doesn't help, then you might have some different procedure altogether, maybe a passcode from the manufacturer..

Is external antenna required for Late 2004 Bluetooth to function?

I have a G5 Late 2004 with the blue module installed, but i don't have the external antenna. Is this required for operation, or is my module bad? It shows up in profiler,but won't connect to anything. Also, if it is required, does anyone know a good place to purchase one.

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology, and you're going to shorten that extensively if you don't have an antenna. As you're seeing, it probably won't even work without the antenna.
The external antenna is about $30 from Mac-pro.com.
Are you missing the Airport antenna as well? Both antennas were in the same bag, as I recall.

Suitable bluetooth dongle for Java development

I'm a student studying computer science, and I'm looking to utilise bluetooth in my final year project. I've already got a few good books, but they all assume that you have compatable bluetooth hardware. My question is can anyone recommend me a good reliable compatable usb bluetooth dongle for use with java on linux and/ or Windows?

Hi gimbal2,
I'm not just google all these packages, I downloaded them, tried them, and faced problems, so I asked here to make sure that I'm in the right track.
I want to ask also about Impronto Simulator? Where I can find it since it is not availabe in http://rococosoft.com/about.html ??
Still waiting for answers.
Thanks

Very compatible Bluetooth Dongle for Nokia 6110 Na...

I was having a lot of problems connecting to my PC using my existing Belkin Bluetooth Dongle. After a lot of searching and reviews I bought the D-Link DBT-122 and wish to point out that this works like a dream with the above phone and apparently all others using the same software. Also I noticed during installation some software was installed on the phone itself and now the volume in my car using the Nokia Bluetooth Handsfree has increased tremendously. I had almost give up trying to use Bluetooth on this phone but what a pleasant change the Dlink has been. Highly recommeded for the Nokia 6110 or others running the same software.

I bought a Belkin Bluetooth dongle for my 6120c.
But when the program starts It gives the Windows 'Blue Screen' and the computer restarts.
Since then i have had no idea on what dongle to buy.
Are you running Vista?

Re@lted t0 bluetooth dongle, stack and configuration.. .......

Hi to all,
Those r new or require some more info realted to STACK and statring the prohect read the following page
http://www.cs.hku.hk/~fyp05016/kyng/bt_j9.htm
This is may be benifical to u.
Anyhow, i am making the my final year project related to Bluetooth and i am trying to use AVETANA which can be dowloaded from the following link:
http://www.avetana-gmbh.de/avetana-gmbh/downloads/relicense.idmexieubncmqxqphuvrohkpjcgwbv.eng.xml
After u visit this link u will see that, avetana require three bluetooth address. I have inputed the address 22:22:22:22:22:22 ( or 22-22-22-22-22-22). I have extracted this address from start-run-ipconfig/all after i install the device dirver software "BlueSoleil_1.6.2.1" in Win XP OS. My bluetooth dongle is "ISSC Bluetooth Device" which i extracted from Device Manager (Start - Right Click My computer - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager). Moreover my VID and UID of the bluetooth dongle is "USB\VID_1131&PID_1001". I have even cheked the microsoft XP site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841803/
for the sake of conformation that whether my bluetooth dongle is supported my Win XP sp2 and the above VID and UID is not present there.
Now the problem is that site doesnot accept my above written address, and so i am unable to download the avetana,,,
In the end(after searching on the net) I have concluded that might the following reason may be there:
1) my bluetooth dongle is either of some local company manufacturer which is not recognized by win XP
2) i am using wrong device driver
3) i am unable to configure properly the bluetooth device.
Moreover, even after installing the device driver (BlueSoleil_1.6.2.1) i am unable to see any bluetooth icon in the Control panel so that i can see/change the bluetooth property.
Plz help me up..
and if i am thinking correct, which company dongle i should purchase or which other bluetooth stack (say like atinav, BlueCove) i should use...
I even want to know that with respect to stack (say atinav) i need to purchase the dongle or not..
moreover, i donot want to buy any stack as this is only my academic project so i donot have so much money to buy a stack (like atinav)
thx in advance..

Hi X42:
Your last paragraph intrigued me as I had the same impression:
I thought unlicensed BT devices were legally limited by the FCC to about 30 feet (3 meters)
Actually, 30 feet is 10 meters.
Anyway, I researched and found this as part of a Wikipedia item:
Bluetooth is a standard wire-replacement communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent, but effective ranges vary in practice; see table below) based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device.[7] Because the devices use a radio (broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in visual line of sight of each other, however a quasi optical wireless path must be viable.[2]
Class
Maximum Permitted Power
Range
(approximate)
mW
dBm
Class 1
100
20
~100 meters
Class 2
2.5
4
~10 meters
Class 3
1
0
~5 meter
The effective range varies due to propagation conditions, material coverage, production sample variations, antenna configurations and battery conditions. In most cases the effective range of class 2 devices is extended if they connect to a class 1 transceiver, compared to a pure class 2 network. This is accomplished by the higher sensitivity and transmission power of Class 1 devices.[8]
Apparently there are BT devices that will transmit about 300 feet. I did look at the FCC site, but quickly became confused in the technbabble.

JABRA A320S bluetooth dongle compatible with my mac book??

I bought a jabra a320s to pair my mac book with a sony mini stereo. i want to play my music through it.
i had to get the jabra dongle since the mac's bluetooth didn't support a2dp. i haven't opened the box yet for the jabra device. will this work with a mac? on the box it only says compatible with various windows, etc.
anyone know if this will be fine for what i need? thanks in advance.

The Mac Book is from 2005..When I tried looking up the Bluetooth specifications it didn't list A2DP as a feature.
It doesn't list A2DP as a feature on the very latest MacBooks either - even though those are the ones that come with Leopard which does have A2DP support. A2DP is a feature of the Macs Bluetooth system software, not the Bluetooth hardware. That's why older Macs updated to Leopard have gained A2DP support, with no new Bluetooth hardware required.
So if the bluetooth on this computer doesn't have A2DP then there's no way for me to use a bluetooth dongle instead?
No. But it wouldn't matter if you could use the Bluetooth dongle. You would still need the updated Bluetooth software on the computer for A2DP support - which is part of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
I find that hard to swallow.
Well, try it for yourself if you don't believe me.
I should just be able to disable the internal bluetooth and use the dongle, right?
Well... Yes, if there was actually a way to disable just the internal Bluetooth - but there isn't. If you were to turn Bluetooth off in the system preferences, it would turn all Bluetooth off, including the dongle.
But lastly, does anyone know if the Jabra dongle would be compatible with the Mac Book if I actually busted open the box?
You're not reading what I've written are you? As the MacBook *already has* internal bluetooth hardware, you cannot use an external bluetooth dongle with it. The internal bluetooth always takes priority over the external, and you cannot turn off just the internal Bluetooth.

NFC and bluetooth are not the same thing.
The iPhone (no currently existing model) does not have the hardware required for NFC.
