Hello,
I use an Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 2230 in a Lenovo E530. Since using version v.17 of Intel's bluetooth drivers the device shows up as "Generic bluetooth adapter" in device manager:
Another strange thing: the adapter is not only called "Generic Bluetooth Adapter" but it is in fact a generic Microsoft bluetooth driver and not an Intel driver! However the Bluetooth audio driver is the correct driver by Intel.
Does the v.17 driver package not include a driver for Wireless-N 2230 cards?? It makes no difference if I upgrade directly from v3 to v17 drivers (without uninstalling v3 before) or uninstalling v3 before installing v17 driver. The bluetooth card is always detected as a generic bluetooth adapter using v17...
If I switch back to v3 driver series the bluetooth adapter shows correctly as "Intel Centrino Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 + High Speed Adapter" (and uses an Intel driver).
What's going wrong, Intel? Searching the community I found several other (old) discussions with the same problem, e.g. this one:
Bluetooth detected as Generic Bluetooth Adapter
PS: I use Intels bluetooth driver 17.1.1501.01 and Windows 7 64Bit (Prof.)
