Laptop wireless/bluetooth combo, shared antenna?

[James Rosendahl]

I am swapping out my stock WIFI card in my HP-dv7 for a combo card. Will they share the same antenna?

Yes, Bluetooth will use the same antennas as normal wireless. The HP laptops can have Bluetooth, HP just doesn't ship the pre-built units with Bluetooth.

Thanx, that's what I figured. I don't understand why any manufacturer would make a laptop without Bluetooth. The cost for the wireless card and the combo is so small it just does not make sense to me.
