I have a Dell D430 running Windows 7 Pro 64.
It originally came without Bluetooth, so I bought a Dell Truemobile 355
Bluetooth Adapter Card - RJ421 off eBay and installed it like so.

BAfter I started up the machine it detected a USB hub but I don't have a
Bluetooth option in Control Panel.
What did I do wrong?

I thought it would automatically detect it and search for the driver.
Those FTP sites aren't working.

run windows update and see if it installs the driver for you.

I tried that - no dice.

For whatever reason Windows update doesn't acknowledge the fact it needs
a driver.
Im guessing the reason is because there is no official Windows 7 Driver
for this particular device, everyone seems to be using the Vista
drivers; with great success.
Unfortunately the FTP site Mark posted is down.
