I have the what seems to be infamous 3com Bluetooth PC Card. I understand that it has fairly limited capabilities, which irks me, but I honestly only really use it for DUN.

That said, is there a way to get it to work with the XP SP2 Bluetooth native support? I tried editing the bth.inf file, which looks fine (and installs the XP Bluetooth manager properly), but I always get an Error 10 (Device will not start) in Device Manager. Any tips (beyond getting a new card - which I won't do, and going back to the 3Com software - which I will if this fails)?

Nope, I think the 3COM is not supported. Check the official list of Bluetooth support on Windows XP Service Pack 2.

No...I know it is not officially supported. Is there any way to trick Windows though?
