actually the Socket card 2.5 is an excellent choise, because of their
size and its CSR based Bluetooth chip. But as you already read in the
archives there are some problems. With 2.6 some serial cards work and
some don't. I guess that this is a problem in the new serial layer of
2.6. So choosing the right card will be a non-trivial problem, because
most of them are serial based and you can't be sure that they work until
you tested them. If you don't care what Bluetooth chip is used I suppose
that you go with the Anycom CF card (bluecard_cs driver).

Regards

Marcel
