bluetooth module and mini-pci hardware conflict

Question

Hello,

I own a Dell Latitude X300 with an internal truemobile bluetooth module; everything worked fine until I addedd a mini-pci wireless card (atheros chipset) and bluetooth stopped working:

It seems that there is a hardware conflict between my atheros based mini-pci wlan card and the internal dell truemobile bluetooth module, if I remove the mini-pci wireless card then bluetooth works perfect, but when I put the mini-pci card again bluetooth stops working.

Any help would be appreciated.

No, I have not resolved the conflict, I tried to contact Dell tech support but never got an answer for this. Finally I opened the computer and removed the Bluetooth module, but if you ever know how to resolve it, please let me know. I will respond to this thread if I ever get response from dell tech support.
