Wireless G and bluetooth are 2 different things you have to get a G card for WLAN and a bluetooth card if you want to use bluetooth.

Just go to the shop and replace it lar. Simple. It's a separate card anyways.

And yeah...there's such thing as a BT+WLAN combo mini-pci card but depends on availability.

I'm talking about mini-pci... internal.

Again..as for availability, check with the shops cos I'm not local.

Who uses PCMCIA these days anyway?

For some of us Notebook users ler...not all notebooks can just open and change right? So the PCmCia Card slot comes in usefull.

So no PcmCia Combo lar....

What's with all the exclamation mark anyway... relax lar. It's moved here cos... well...it's the lappy section.

Back to your question, I don't think too many ppl will actually go shopping for a mini-pci card in hardware as well. And a WLAN+BT combo isn't very common as well.

Conclusion...ya gotta go shopping.

As for putting it in.. Come on....its not that difficult... unscrew....pop up the lid... find card..remove antenna.... stick in new card...connect antenna (connect the same place as the old card...some lappy has one...some has 2 antenna).. close lid...screw... do the software stuff.

So happens I have one piece with me..as you can see..it's a no brainer.
