is it possible to link a bluetooth device to a computer using a wireless card?

Scorcher117 asked:


I already have a wireless card built into my laptop, and I am trying to hook up a bluetooth compatible cellphone. The cellphone has a bluetooth module integrated into it so I just need to configure the laptop. There is an option to enable bluetooth collaboration on the laptop for the wireless card, but is there any way to make it detectable to the cellphone without buying anything?

    No, they use totally different protocols. The easiest answer is to buy a bluetooth USB adaptor, they are quite cheap.

    No, but you can buy a USB Bluetooth adapter for around $20.
