Jeremy,

For each different Bluetooth transceiver you plug into your Embedded device
you have to have included the correct device driver in the image when it was
built in order for the transceiver to be installed correctly.

 I think the networking issues are fixed in the RTM version of SP2. I'll
look into it and post a confirmation to this thread when I find out.

Thanks,
