Subject: [Bluez-users] Microsoft BT Dongle and other questions

    I've been monitoring this list for about a week or two (since I got
an internal bluetooth module installed in my iBook) and have had a few
of my questions answered already (like why the scrollwheel on my
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth doesn't work), but I still
have a few questions.
    First of all (this isn't really a question), since I have an
internal bluetooth module, I have a Microsoft bluetooth dongle that is
of no use to me, so I would be able to send it to you, Marcel.  Let me
know how to get it to you and I'll send it.
    Ok, now for the questions:
    1. Is there a way to turn off the internal bluetooth adapter from
apple?  I know it sounds stupid, but there is a good reason: When I'm on
battery power, I've noticed that my battery has been draining faster
since I got the adapter.  I don't use bluetooth all the time, so when
I'm not using it I'd like to get the most out of my battery.
    2. Have the developers taken into account sleeping/resuming?  I've
noticed that when I sleep my laptop, I have to shut down the bluetooth
services before-hand in order to get the adapter to work after resume.
Shouldn't this be handled internally?

I'm completely new to bluetooth, so I may not be understanding some
things correctly.  If so, please let me know :).  Thanks in advance!
