Comment 2 for bug 219057

This is an issue that will exist until the specifications of Bluetooth and Wifi become more collaperative. Unfortuntely, Bluetooth and Wifi both run on the ISM band (2.4 to 2.4835 GHz). When Wifi encounters interferance, it simply tries to resend the packet. This causes Wifi to slow to a halt as it will continue to try to resent the packet until it is successful easily cutting Wifi speeds in half or usually much more than half. When Bluetooth encounters interferance, it jumps onto another frequency and tries sending the packet again (it would perform the jump whether or not interferance was discovered on that particular frequency as it's part of the Bluetooth spec to preform frequency "hopping"). Due to the fact that this frequency "hopping" occurs at a hardware level and not software, you cannot force bluetooth to use or to not use certain channels. Unfortunately, this is hardware dependant to my knowledge.
