Subject: [Bluez-users] well-supported cardbus bluetooth card

Hi all

I want to buy a cardbus bluetooth card for my old laptop (for use with a
keyboard).

Since the list of supported devices is no longer available at

http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/devices.html

could anyone please tell me what would be a wise choice to avoid headaches
later on?

Thank you in advance,

Mack

Hi Brad

Thanks for the input. I'm indeed "stuck" using 2.6 (802.11g drivers...) and
I'm having trouble finding the model you mentioned. Actually, I've
repeatedly searched amazon and I can only find one pcmcia/cardbus card:

3Com 3CRWB6096B

Will this work? Alternatively please just let me know a brand/product name I
can by expecting that it will work under 2.6.

Thank you for your input,

Mack

I had a lot of luck with the socket f and g models.

If you are using a 2.4 kernel, these will work great.

If you need 2.6, you may have to apply a patch or wait until it makes it
into the mainline kernel. (Mathias Adam posted the patch on bluez-devel
around 3/5/05)
