Any issues with wifi and bluetooth on 740?

[tedmount]

Just bought a socket bluetooth card to go with my 740.

Everything works great, I just wondered what the issues are when using both wireless protocols on the same machine. i.e. If I try to switch on the wifi when I've been using BT, the light flashes on then goes off, and I need to reset the 740 to re-enable the wifi.

Is there any way around this?

I've seen similar issues with the Toshiba BT Card. But I almost never use them at the same time, so it hasn't been a big deal for me ...

Here is a quick solution to make them work together.

Switch off the e740,
Pull out the socket BT,
Switch on the e740
When the wifi comes up insert the socket BT back to its slot immediately.

This way both will work at the same time without having to do a soft reset.

I don't know if the above procedure could damage the e740 or the socket BT so be careful..
