Hi Boris,

Right now, I am using the way you mentioned above, with the hotkey mask,
but it does not provide enough flexibility.
That is because now I can have one or another, but I cannot have both.
What should I do if I want to activate both bluetooth and wireless ?
I have to enable bluetooth AND have an hotkey event for activating the
wireless, because by default is taken care only of the USB bluetooth, but
nothing is done for the wireless.


Thanks,
Paul
