I believe I need the basic Broadcom driver installed prior to installing the Dell Wireless 380 Bluetooth application. Where can I find the driver?

There are few more things that you want to pay attention to. If you
have already added the device in your 'bluetooth device list' that

you might need to restart the computer if it gave you a connection
problem error message.
