Bluetooth Dongle

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

The MSI dongle is numbered 6967, not 6968 which is the Bluetooth PCI card.

They have for the 6967 an utility called Bluetooth Address Finder, that will
help you. You can download it from this page:

Sorry I got the number mixed up.

However, I think these address finders only work if drivers are installed
(the address finder doesn't find a bluetooth device although there is a UDB
hardware item in device manager that has no drivers yet, obviously)! I think
the idea is that they assume you have the original drivers installed that
did not need a BT Address. I don't have these!

Any other ideas?

I think that at

http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_...

you can still download a previous version of the MSI software, version 1.3.1
which is not locked to the device number. Just seen it there. Try it.
