=== ThinkPad Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate (BDC-2 / BDC-2.1) ===
This is a USB Bluetooth Adapter that is installed in a slot in the Bluetooth Daughter Card (BDC). The location of the Bluetooth Daughter Card varies by model (within the screen, under the palm rest area, etc.); refer to the Hardware Maintenance Manual for the location of the BDC within each specific model.

=== Features ===
* Chipset: Broadcom
* Model: BCM2045B (BDC-2)
* USB VID/PID: 0A5C:2110 (BDC-2)
* USB VID/PID: 0A5C:2145 (BDC-2.1)
* USB VID/PID: 0A5C:217F (BDC-2.1)

=== Linux Driver ===

The Bluetooth adapter uses the '''hci_usb''' driver {{kernelconf|CONFIG_BT_HCIUSB||||||}}.

One can enable Bluetooth by pressing {{key|Fn}}{{key|F5}}. If this doesn't work, you can load the [[thinkpad-acpi]] kernel module and run the following command with root privileges:

{{cmdroot|echo "enable" > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth}}

When Bluetooth is enabled, the Bluetooth-logo LED will light up and executing {{cmdroot|lsusb}} will show an entry mentioning "Broadcom".

On recent ThinkPads the Wireless killswitch disables both WiFi and Bluetooth (verified on a ThinkPad Z60m, Z61t, T60, T61 and X61).

=== Set Fn + F5 or Fn + F6 as hotkey to enable/disable Bluetooth ===
If the {{key|Fn}}{{key|F5}} combo doesn't work for you out-of-box, you can easily use Linux ACPI subsystem to enable and disable Bluetooh. You only need to create two small files (shown below). Note that you need to have <code>acpid</code> and <code>thinkpad_acpi</code> installed and properly working. The following scripts were tested on openSUSE 10.3.

Newer ThinkPad T Series Models cycle through four options:
# WLAN on + bluetooth on
# WLAN off + bluetooth off
# WLAN off + bluetooth on
# WLAN on + bluetooth off
If you don't like this and want to control only bluetooth without affecting WLAN you can simply add {{key|Fn}}{{key|F6}} as the bluetooth toggle. To do that use the second ACPI event handler scipt below instead of the first one.
==== ACPI action script ====
<pre># cat /etc/acpi/actions/bluetooth
#!/bin/bash
# Bluetooth enable/disable script

/etc/init.d/bluetooth status

if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]; then
/etc/init.d/bluetooth start > /dev/null
echo enabled > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
echo "Bluetooth enabled"
else
/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop > /dev/null
echo disabled > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
echo "Bluetooth disabled"
fi</pre>
This script, when executed, detects the current state of Bluetooth subsystem and changes it to the opposite state.

==== ACPI event handler ====
<pre># cat /etc/acpi/events/bluetooth
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005
action=/etc/acpi/actions/bluetooth</pre>
<code>acpid</code>, once detects Fn + F5 keypress, runs the given script which disables or enables Bluetooth (and changes state of indication LED).

To use {{key|Fn}}{{key|F6}} for bluetooth toggling only and leave the function of FN+F5 on newer ThinkPads intact use the following script instead of the one above:
<pre># cat /etc/acpi/events/bluetooth
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001006
action=/etc/acpi/actions/bluetooth</pre>

== ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock ==
The ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock (Model # 250410U) contains basic pass-through connections for notebook ports, including power pass-through. It comes without integrated power supply but provides the same power jack as found in a ThinkPad, an AC-Adapter is included. Besides all the pass-through ports the ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock comes with an On/Off switch, Key lock and a slot for a cable lock.

=== Features ===
* Passthrough ports:
** Ethernet (RJ45)
** Modem (RJ11)
** [[VGA Port|VGA]]
** DVI-D (Dual Link DVI-D supported for certain nVidia / ATI video cards for high resolution monitors)
** [[Serial Port|Serial (DB9-M)]]
** [[Parallel Port|Parallel (DB25-F)]]
** [[PS/2 Port|Combined PS/2 Mouse + Keyboard]]
** Audio Microphone-in
** Audio Headphone-out
* USB (4-ports)
* Kensington Lock connector
* Key lock
* Power button
* AC-Adapter (same as with the TP)
