Bluetooth Cards

[LinuxIdiot]

Has anyone seen any cards that can setup bluetooth internally on say a desktop computer? I would like to add it to my next build, however I have yet to see a current internal solution for bluetooth. I have seen a network card by MSI that included bluetooth, however I believe it used an older bluetooth protocol that was slower.

I found this one, available from Germany, don't know how well it works or if it's what you're looking for-Text

Only other thing I can think of is using a PCMCIA cards with a PCI to PCMCIA adapter, that might work. Something like this-
One of these with one of these.

Today, i just bought a "Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter - 330 feet" from a B&M Circuit City for $39. It is about the size of a 2" flash drive so it is not obtrusive.

i haven't tried it yet but i want to use my cell phone [and its unlimited data plan] as a dial up modem for my desktop. i am in the county stuck on dial-up and even 150 kbps sounds really [really (really!)] good.

it is identified as P58213 and by Part # F8T012-1. It mentions Mac, Vista and XP. The standard is USB 2.0 and Bluetooth v1.1-, v1.2- and v2.0-compliant devices.
