1) Is it a serial device (I think so)?
 1a) Does the kernel/pcmcia subsystem recognize it as a serial device, and
	add a /dev/ttyS<x> entry for it?
	-try (as root) "tail -f /var/log/messages" and watch the output as
	you plug the card in. Does it bind to a specific tty? (When I plug
	my PCMCIA card in, the kernel assigns it to /dev/ttyS4.)
2) If it's recognized as a serial port, try "hciattach /dev/ttyS<x> any"
(where <x> is replaced by the specific number assigned by your kernel.
  -I'm on a windows box, and can't remember if the 3com card is discussed
	in the man page or not. For my Zoom card I use "hciattach
	/dev/ttyS4 bcsp". Keep watching the tail of /var/log/messages and
	see if an error occurs.
3) Be sure to start up the rest of the bluetooth subsystem. (On my
Mandrake box, this is easy "service bluetooth start", many other
distributions use the same init script system, so it's likely to work for
you too...) [I don't believe that it matters if you do this before or
after you insert the card.
