I am building my dev machine with WS2008R2SP1. I consider Windows Server as the best development environment for C# since I tend to focus on server-centric (integration) applications. The desktop flavor of Windows (7) doesn't play nicely with things like Commerce Server or BizTalk... so I to like stick to the environment I develop for. Previously I used to develop inside of VM's but I've found that it is super inefficient and tends to take a toll on the laptops. (I've gone through two of them in 6 months).
Problem is that I multiple devices that do not want to be recognized by Windows:
My machine is Dell Precision M4500:
Intel Core i7-Q740,
1TB HDD,
8GB RAM,
Dell re-branded Broadcom DW1501 802x11n Half-Mini Card,
Dell re-branded Broadcom DW375 Bluetooh Module,
Intel 82577LM Gigabit Network connection
NVidia Quadro FX1800 Graphics
The devices in question are the Dell rebranded broadcom network and bluetooth adapters:
Broadcom USH:
USB\VID_0A5C&PID_5800&REV_0101&MI_00
USB\VID_0A5C&PID_5800&MI_00
DW375 Bluetooth Module
USB\VID_413C&PID_8187&REV_0517
USB\VID_413C&PID_8187
When I ran the broadcom installers I get "Operating System not supported" which I think is a big oversight on Broadcom's part. Why check for system version string? UGHGHGH
Moreover if I try to manually force the driver in windows... I get an error:
Driver Management concluded the process to install driver FileRepository\btwampsecfl.inf_amd64_neutral_d8fc2b85d035ed47\btwampsecfl.inf for Device Instance ID USB\VID_0A5C&PID_5800&MI_00\7&66DE6C9&0&0000 with the following status: 0xe0000217.

I googled the 0xe0000217
error code and it says Bad service install section
in the driver inf file...
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I also tried the post by BetaIQ
on MSDN Forum, unfortunately the links to the driver package included in the post were dead :(
PS. On a side note I also do mobile development for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone, and BB. Having the bluetooth is quite useful with mobile devices.
