Model - g75vw-bbk5
Windows 7 Professional (pre-installed at purchase)
Atheros wireless card
The drivers for the card appear to work. The errors occur when I connect my phone to the machine
I get one com port installed, and eight other sub devices on the bluetooth adapter at code 28 (driver not found)
I have uninstalled/re-installed the atheros software
I have removed and reconnected the phone several times. Each time it asks to search for drivers and fails to find them at microsoft update.
The computer can see the phone, but the phone cannot see the computer.
I have searched microsoft and cannot see a resolution there for Win7 - although there does seem to be a few for Vista.
NOTE: although I am quite familiar with token ring, ethernet and wireless networking, this is my first experience with bluetooth adapters.

I had a similar problem when I tried to connect a BlackBerry Tour to my G74SX via Bluetooth. Several new devices appeared without drivers. They also could not be obtained from Windows Update.

The solution was to right-click on a new device, choose "Update Driver Software" from the popup menu, then select "Browse my computer for driver software", then select "Let me pick from a list of device driver on my computer", then scroll down the Manufacturer list and select "Blackberry" (choose "Sony" in your case) and select the appropriate driver for the device.

If this fails to resolve your issue, contact Sony Ericsson or Telstra Australia Technical Support and see if they can hook you up with the correct bluetooth drivers for your phone's devices.

You could also try some of the Vista resolutions, if drivers are involved. It could be they are Vista/Windows 7 drivers.

the phone is a Sony Ericsson cedar - otherwise know as j108 - locked to and sold (possibly modified) by Telstra Australia
