Apologies if this has been raised already - I could not find any similar threads.

Issue 1 - WiFi:
New MacBook Air (awesome!), using my iPhone 4 as a Personal Hotspot.
My iPhone is #1 in the list of preferred networks, with my home access point as #2. Yet the Air never automatically connects with the iPhone- even after I turn Personal Hotspot Off and On again. Instead, I have to drop down the WiFi icon on the top bar, then wait until my iPhone appears in the list, then explicitly connect. Any clues?

Issue 2 - Bluetooth:
I have a Microsoft Bluetooth 5000, which works fine with SL iMac, SL MacBook Pro but not with new Air and Lion.
The Air finds the mouse, starts the connection process but throws an error "could not connect" with some reference to bluetooth protocol or version incompatibility of some sort. Funny enough though.... it worked for half a day or so. Normal pairing process, all good for a while and then it could not reconnect and would not connect even if I unpaired and tried to pair again. Can't figure this one out.........

Cheers!
