A31 upgrading with Bluetotth internal card & antenna

[OMNIBUS]

hallo
i have an A31 with this situation:
ethernet device with a ethernet daughter card;
modem device with modem daughter card;
1 minipci with 26p8472 ;
i would install bluetooth how i could do so?
i don't know if bluetooth needs antenna or what and if any mini pci wireless card support even the rj 45 device for ethernet with cable?
i thought 2 solution but i don't know if are right..somebody could help me?
1) solution
buying a bdc with modem type 2 i saw on ebay does it work in A31? but where i have to put the bluetooth antenna? i saw in HMM but i didn't find the bluetooth antenna position nor how it is made
2) solution
buying the Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Mini-PCI Adapter and if it does work with my system then using the mdc slot for a simple bmdc (i'd need to know where putting an antenna and which type !?) BMDC2 or BMDC3 i have to chose?
i have some T43 BT antenna free coul i fit with A31?

whic one of these is the best solution? or what i have to do to get bluetooth , wireless, modem and ethernet cable with my A31 keeping best configuration and performance?
thankyou to all

Refer to the parts list -
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-39574

Item number 9 - get any combo card you need. In your case it sounds like Modem/ethernet.
Item # 10,11 - get the Bluetooth Daughter card.
Item #12 - get bluetooth antenna

Refer to the A31 maintenance manual for card installation and cable routing.

Note: The above is the right way to do what you want. Your other questions are ...will this work or will that work. I don't know the answers to those questions.

The antenna I pointed out probably will not give you the 30 feet its supposed to, but how often are 30 feet away from the laptop and still need to use Blue Tooth?

i'll try it when it'll arrive; in any case i've got n original T43 bluetooth antenna so i'll compare them!
just because T43 antenna could fit too
