Bluetooth driver versions by operating system

BB4 — Sat, 02 May 2015 15:15:06 GMT

Like this link that you have for wireless drivers: http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-034315.htm Intel® Wi-Fi Products — Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software Driver Versions by Operating System

If there's one for bluetooth drivers, I can't find it. Could you point me to it, or put one up, please?

Hello GattoNero,

You may refer to the following document to get this information:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24851/ Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth® Technology

We appreciate your comments and we are working to revise and update the information in the advisory.

We would like to mention that with Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth® technology the version of the package you download will be the same as the driver version shown in Device Manager.

We encourage users to obtain the BT drivers from the OEM, and only use the generic version from Intel as a last resort.

from here: http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-034295.htm?wapkw=cs-034295 Intel® Wi-Fi Products — Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth®: Zip Files for IT Administrators

and Device Manager reports the driver version as 17.1.1501.512.

That's what I'm interested in.

Here is the equivalent link to Bluetooth software like the one you have for Wi-Fi software: http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/proset-ws/sb/CS-034060.htm Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software — Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth® Technology

The "version" shown is the PROSet software package version, which differs slightly from the actual driver versions that show up in Device Manager. We can work on adding the more information regarding the driver version as well for each software package that we post on our support web pages to describe the wireless and Bluetooth software that we post to download center. Thanks for your feedback.

Is this the kind of information you are looking for?

Intel® PROSet/Wireless Bluetooth Software 17.1.1501.01 includes:

Intel Driver version: iBTSW_REL0771_17.1.1512.0771

Motorola* Driver Version: 17.1.1501.0512

Intel® PROSet/Wireless Bluetooth Software 17.1.1411.01 includes:

Intel Driver version: iBTSW_REL0262_17.1.1440.02

Motorola* Driver Version: 17.1.1407.0486

Yes, please. I'd like to see a table of driver versions as they will display in Device Manager. The one for ProSet, linked above, is simple and concise. Follow that lead and we're gold.
