I have a bluetooth enabled laptop (IBM t40) that I take back and forth to
work/home.
I have several USB devices that I use at home. I was wondering if there is a
device that I can "connect" with wirelessly to a USB hub?
Thanks
Mc

You might take a look at the Belkin site. They have a Bluetooth Access Point
that has 2 USB ports, but I think they are intended for printers and may not
support other USB devices.

Unlike Firewire USB does not usually support to use of devices without a
controller, and that usually HAS to be a PC, even PDA's don't act as
controller devices. There is no way ATM to connect wirelessly to USB devices
without a controller.
It is possible in many cases thou to use a wirelessly connect PC to share
these devices over a Wireless LAN.
