How did you suppressed it? Does it show up in Device Manager?
A
ah
Sorry. I wanted to keep it short because people don't have much time for
reading long posts.
I am running Win XP Pro SP2.
I am having problems with a USB Bluetooth device: UGX? I went in the device
manager and made appear the hidden devices (KB 315539) and, as the Bluetooth
radio was greyish, I thought that I could suppress it. I deleted it and now
NO Bluetooth radio appear anymore in the device manager. I can't
communicate anymore with my PPC using Bluetooth. I can't add a Bluetooth
device anymore etc... This USB Bluetooth device that keeps giving me
problem is still around and it prevents my WiFi to find any network. First
I need to reinstall the Bluetooth radio that I suppressed by mistake and
then I'll have to tackle the problem of this malfunctioning USB Bluetooth
device which prevents my WiFi for working.

So you need to perform an 'add new hardware' operation, it sounds like. Try
just unplugging the Bluetooth USB stick and then plugging it back in. The
Device Manager should ask you if you want to install the driver for it. You
do.
If that doesn't work, consult with the documentation for the device and see
if there isn't a driver that you're supposed to install before plugging the
device in.

Paul, you saved my day. I don't know how to thank you. First I thought
that I didn't have any Bluetooth USB stick anywhere but I remembered that I
had, at the bottom of a drawer, an old Bluetooth Headset that came with a
stick. I plugged the stick in and it did the trick. It reinstalled my
Bluetooth radio, I recreated all the Bluetooth relationships and now PPC and
laptop communicate again.
I hope that you can help me with my WiFi problem now. I thought that WiFi
stopped working because it came in conflict with this Bluetooth USB device
malfunctioning (UGX?) but now that I reinstalled everything I still don't
have WiFi. I tried to repair but no way.

My laptop is WiFi enabled. It is a Sony Vaio T VGN-T270P. Yesterday I
couldn't see any wireless networks in the window. Today I disabled the WiFi

here: http://www.ezlan.net/example/tcp-ip.jpg. The properties of Client for
Microsoft network don't look like this but I just see RPC services with Name

Network Connection was crossed but disabling and re-enabling has made it
available again, this is why I can see the networks, I think, but 1394 Net
Adapter is still crossed and I don't know what it is. Perhaps it is why I
can't connect but after the damage I did yesterday by suppressing the
Bluetooth radio in my device manager, I don't dare doing anything there now.

You don't need 1394. That's "Firewire" and you've already said that you
have a separate WiFi adapter.
If you can see any networks, there's nothing wrong with the driver
configuration for the WiFi adapter. If you can't connect, you haven't
entered the right WEP keys, user name and password, or something of that
sort to connect to the indicated network.

No, I'm not mixed up, about that at least. You enabled the Intel 2200BG
adapter. That's separate and distinct from any 1394 thing and you don't
need 1394; you have the other.
It's possible that you have MAC address filtering set on your access point
and the old card is listed and the Intel 2200BG is not. It's also possible
that the configuration which the computer is trying to use is wrong. Delete
it from the list of preferred SSID values and try to connect to it, again.
It should prompt you to enter the right information.

Hmmm. I don't have that feeling at all. I mean, if your whole device
registry is screwed up, *anything* is possible, but removing my Bluetooth
dongle from my laptop has *zero* effect on WiFi. When the dongle is
removed, it's quite possible to get a warning, as the driver is trying to
load and create virtual serial ports for Bluetooth communications, etc., but
WiFi doesn't require Bluetooth or vice versa (and, other than some potential
radio frequency interference between the two, they're about as unrelated as
any two pieces of hardware that the computer might have). I think that you
should concentrate on the high-probability problems before concluding that
it's something like that.
