asus a716: enabling bluetooth and wifi at the same time?

[Jing Tan]

I'm wondering if it's possible. I want to get a bluetooth keyboard(frogpad) and have it
talk to the a716. I want to use AIM and SSH while connected to wifi. If not it'll be really
lame. imagine you need to get a sd bluetooth card just so you can have a keyboard.

At this point that is not possible. I don't know if it is a hardware issue or a driver limitation. I do know that Bluetooth and WiFi use the same frequency, so it could be that somehow the Asus uses a single transceiver for both, or they at least share the same antenna. In that case there may be a hardware issue that prevents both from working at the same time.

I am afraid it is not possible due to both hardware and software limitations in the a716, I have spoken to Asus on the issue and no fix will be made available.

That really must kill battery life if you used both at the same time .
