Hi Paul I've seem to have lost it again should that download be put in a certain folder ? Seems when I power down and back up again  Qualcomm 3.0 loads again.

Hi:

According to the driver info, the driver is good for both the Atheros 3.0 and 4.0 BT adapters.

If your notebook is reporting the Atheros 3.0 BT, then that is the Bluetooth version it has.

It is one or the other.  I cannot be both, or change from one to the other.
