will an external usb bluetooth dongle work for the 4530s/ 4430s in Lion ?
Has anyone tried using external usb bluetooth ?

external dongles work fine. the advantage to using a dongle is that if/when you wake your laptop from sleep, and bluetooth doesn't restart, you just unplug and replug the dongle and BT is up and running again.

i'm a fan of the CHEAP BT dongles--often 99cents/free shipping from meritline.com
