Sonnet USB 3.0 PCIe Fail with Mountain Lion, Kills Bluetooth

Just sent the following to Sonnet support. They have a system support installer that is supposed to make the card work with Mountain Lion, which it does, but it also kills Bluetooth on my Mac Pro:


Hi there. Have been banging my head against a wall on Mountain Lion upgrade to a 3,1 Mac Pro and have figured out that your Sonnet USB 3.0 System Support Installer 1.0.1 causes Bluetooth to become unavailable, which for me is a deal breaker.


Here is how I get to the conclusion that your software is the issue:


1. Clean install of Mountain Lion

2. Install USB 3.0 Driver (Mac) 1.06B, reboot (Bluetooth fine)

3. Install Sonnet USB 3.0 System Support Installer 1.0.1, reboot, Bluetooth not available (jagged line through Bluetooth icon in menu bar, no Bluetooth item in System Preferences panel)


When I remove this last item and restart Bluetooth comes back.


I hope there is an urgency around a fix for this. Please let me know if you need any more information.
