Can't Use PCMCIA Bluetooth Class 1 Card in Vista


Q: I can't use my PCMCIA Bluetooth Class 1 Card in Vista.
I can get the Update from Broadcom using Btwinitialupdate.exe but it can't detect my PCMCIA. I guess the update software it just for USB device. The model of my PCMCIA is PCBTC1-N.

No, you can not use it with Vista. You might have to buy device that is supported with Vista. I know you might want such answer, but only usb device from Broadcom is now supported, not PCMCIA.

Just as now, when the Broadcom is not providing the support for PCMCIA to work with Vista, you might have to wait a little time until it is available. Also, the Vista is same, until service packs releasing to help out. In this meantime, use whatever that is available is best.
