Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.1 is Out
The Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.1 provides improvements in the update installation process, better performance when waking the computer from sleep, and support for additional key commands during startup.
The Bluetooth Firmware Updater is for D-Link USB Adapters (revision B2 or later), and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on PowerBooks and PowerMacs. This firmware update will improve connectivity between the computer and the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse. Use this updater for the modules specified above; this updater is unsupported with any other Bluetooth modules.
Important: Applying this firmware updater to a D-Link USB to Bluetooth adapter will make it incompatible with non-Macintosh systems.
The Firmware Updater must be run after it has been downloaded. If the Software Update preference pane was used, the Updater will be in the root Utilities folder. An internet connection must be live, Bluetooth must be on and the computer must not be disturbed during updating. We applied it to our 1 GHz 17" PowerBook G4 with no problem.
In the past we have occasionally had interference problems between Bluetooth and AirPort, particularly when the AirPort signal strength is not really high. Hopefully, the AirPort and Bluetooth updaters fix this issue.
