Newly purchased fit-PC2 (rev1.41) wont recognize miniPCIe cards which uses USB line on miniPCIe socket.

Document says "mini PCI Express includes PCIEx1, USB (EHCI), SMB, power supplies."

Is there any change of hardware specifications? without noticed?

There were no changes made. Can you please specify what cards do you use?

I checked both Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 and 6235 mini PCIe card that uses USB line for Bluetooth function.

And both card works only Wi-fi function, but bluetooth never show up in device manager of windows7.

This USB port support only USB2 devices. To the best of my knowledge, a bluetooth modules use the USB 1.1 standard. Please check it with your cards' datasheet.

gabrielh, you mean that fit-PC2 miniPCIe`s USB line only support EHCI like USB P2(front left USB mini port)?

Is it standard miniPCIe specification? or fit-PC2 specified limitation?

Anyway, I will try 4G WiMAX combo card(WiMAX uses USB2.0 only) if the problem stands for miniPCIe`s USB line spec.

The only limitation for the FitPC2's miniPCI port, is the US15W USB2 port with no USB1.1 backward compatibility

OK, I tried Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6250(WiMAX combo card. WiMAX device uses USB2.0 because of its transfer speed).

well, result is... It work! WiMAX part shown up in device manager.

So, I have to find Bluetooth combo card which work with USB2.0 port...ughh.
