[Clug-tech] Bluetooth

[Shawn Grover]

I have an Acer laptop as well.  It has the bluetooth button slide thing, 
but my model does NOT have bluetooth.

It would appear that your model has a similar issue - it may have 
provisions for blue tooth, but does not have blue tooth capabilities 
unless you add a USB dongle, or PC Card.

You can pick up a bluetooth usb dongle from $10 - $50.  I've found that 
some of the older devices may not work as well under Linux.
