[G5] Re: Bluetooth mouse can't wake computer (was: Waiting for my 1.8 G5)

Thanks, Tim, for the URL for the latest Bluetooth update. I 
downloaded/installed it, repaired permissions, and still can't wake my 
computer with my Bluetooth mouse. The option 'Allow this Bluetooth 
device to wake this computer' is greyed out in the Bluetooth prefs.

I checked: I've got the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter but don't 
know how to check whether it's version B2 or later.

Thanks for all the help.
