Thanks, I thought the kiddies automagically just connected
their mouse, earphones ..etc. by bluetooth.

I had to buy this Win7-device because my wireless-modem connection
had no linux driver, and ONCE I confirmed that its wifi could just detect
nearby transmitters and connect automatically. So I expected bluetooth
to be similar.

Can I familiarise my self with bluetooth, from Win7 perspective,
without messing my new linux setup, by plugging the dongle into
the Win7-netbook, which HAS built-in bluetooth?
Ie. test it only on the Win7-netbook?

I'm confused, that the dongle came with a mini-CD,
and the netbook wanted to go on-line: apparently to fetch driver/S.
