ever since i installed TB im getting this error message.

the device driver for the 'broadcom 2046 bluetooth 2.1 USB driver dongle' device is preventing the machine from entering into standby. please close all applications and try again.

i really like that tethering over BT works but i think ill use USB most of the time so how to I either fix the problem or get it back to not looking for or disabling BT. Really need the netbook to sleep/standby.....anyone?

Either turn off the bluetooth, or go into the device manager in your computer and properties and look for a power management tab and see if there is a option to select it so it will let the computer go into standby.

I don't have this issue using a generic eBay dongle, I believe this is a driver issue. Uninstall your hardware specific bluetooth drivers and install the windows ones. This should allow you to sleep and hibernate just fine without pulling the adapter, They are also compatible with the services required by Tether, you may lose hardware specific services though (like the mic and playback of headset).
