    I have a belkin 802.11g wireless network card, and I was wondering: is there any way to make it emulate a bluetooth device? 802.11g is a much faster and more advanced method, so I figure it must be possible. Has it been done?

    eh?

    If you are talking about fooling a computer into thinking a wifi card was a bluetooth adapter, then getting it to talk to a bluetooth device then I can't see that happening.

    Bluetooth and 802.11g are completely different and are meant for different tasks so there shouldn't really be a need to cross them.

    Except I lost my bluetooth dongle and the belkin card was kicking around :(

    I just want the Belkin card to learn a new language. If I can do it, my components should be able to :)
