I have no clue why this is so and I am no expert when it comes to UART specific stuff. Some of these cards indeed work with a 2.4 kernel. > Has anyone seen any other 8250-compatible UART types used for bluetooth? Actually I think I have most of them at home. However there are a lot more out there and it seems that any new PCMCIA of CF Bluetooth card is a serial card with a Bluetooth chip attached to its UART. > Lastly, would they be willing victims^wtesters for serial patches? 8) I will do and I can also add them to my -mh patches.
