even if some people think that I own every Bluetooth device on the
planet that is not true. And actually the cards from Socket and
Brainboxes are these that I don't own. So I've never done any test with
these cards and maybe they started to work with 2.6.8-rc1 or so, because
there are fixes in the serial subsystem.

I own an old Com1 card that is working in BCSP mode with the serial_cs
driver, but it only works at 115200 baud.
