It seems that it is really time to have up-to-date kernel modules for the Zaurus. Frist I don't like Joseph last choise to put the userspace tools and the kernel modules into one big package. I like to see the kernel stuff seperated from the userspace tools. However I have no Zaurus, so I can't help with that. But some time ago I put some scripts in the BlueZ kernel CVS repository which makes it possible to compile and install the Bluetooth modules outside the kernel source. Maybe you should take a look at it and provide some easy to install ipk packages. The OpenZaurus project will use a 2.4.19 in future and hopefully they include my patch. Do anyone have details about this.
