AFAIK, they have no built-in bluetooth support, but there is a variant of the Sharp ROM from theKompany (http://www.thekompany.com/embedded/rom/) which has BlueZ support (stemming from http://tumnus.zaurii.net/, please anyone correct me if I am wrong). Also, the current testing version of OpenZaurus (3.3.5) (http://www.openzaurus.org/oz_website/content/news) uses a 2.4.18 kernel, and bluez seems to run with the packages from tumnus and an Anycom CF card on my SL-5500. However, the OZ developers see the 2.4.18 based OZ as an interim solution until they have their own port of the 2.4.21 kernel, see http://openzaurus.org/newsletters/2003.12/ So it would be nice if the 2.4.21 could also be maintained! But maybe Marcel would want to contact the OZ developers directly (e.g. via openzaurus-devel@lists.sourceforge.net) to talk about their plans. I am sure they are interested in BlueZ support for OZ, especially with the coming Zaurus SL-6000 that has a built-in bluetooth module. Regards. Matthias
