I have seen combo WiFi + Bluetooth cards on the net, and am wondering if they would work in my x1000.  I currently have the basic 802.11b, and no BT.  I would like to upgrade to 802.11g, and also wouldn't mind BT, so I figured it would be cheaper in the end to get the combo miniPCI instead of the 802.11g miniPCI and the BT module seperately.  Anyone try this out at all?

The computer's bios only accepts cards that were manufactured for this specfic notebook.  This "white list" didn't appear until after v.34 of the bios though, so if you flash v.34 you could probably use one of those combo cards.  It's worth a shot, you could always sell the card back on eBay.
