tell me what interfaces are you going to use. Is it always USB? What
kernel layers are involved? RFCOMM, BNEP, CMTP, HIDP?

You will need more than this two patches for a 2.6.7 based kernel,
because there are some serious problems, too.

The 2.6.7 backport will be end up in selecting patches and fixes small
things, while for 2.4.26 you need to rewrite most of the patches.
