Found out that there is no BT in my new Asus EB1505. I changed the wireless card to Atheros AR5B225, but it works only as Wi-Fi. I tried everything I know to make it live(compiled ath3k, installed additional antenna), though I'm not a BT expert. Asus Eeebox has only standard Wi-Fi antenna in the back. AR5B225 has two pigtails 'main' and 'alt'.
I tried to add Airgain N2420 IPEX antenna to the 'alt' pigtail, but it didn't help. Should I try some different kind of antenna, or problem is in another direction?

Should I try some different kind of antenna, or problem is in another direction?The issue might be that you added the Atheros card to the Asus, unless there is some setting in BIOS and it might even be a USB setting that keeps it from working. I looked when I got home and it is the exact card I have(according to the label) but I can't find bluetooth at all when I install it in another computer.
