If I purchase a laptop with bluetooth built in and I swap out the wifi card for an Intel Centrino 6200, could I loose my bluetooth? Or does the bluetooth have absolutely nothing to do with the wifi card? Does the bluetooth built in use totally different antennas than the wifi card. So, changing wifi cards should not make me loose bluetooth on my laptop?

sometimes the Bt is integrated on the WiFi card.
Read your system docs to find out. -
I dont have the laptop, but I know someone that does that has been very helpful. What do you mean "Read your system docs to find out." What should he look for?

This is the wifi card he says he has in his machine: "Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter"

Well, unfortunately, yes the stock card in the Toshiba M645-S4055 is a broadcom BCM94313HMGB....Which is a WIFI/BT combo. So, I guess I will loose bluetooth with the swap. Hopefully it doesnt hurt anything else. But, it sucks that I will loose bluetooth
Intergrated bluetooth, then switching out wifi card. Could I loose bluetooth?
