Thanks, I found the relevant part (by Edd Dumbill):

"Second, the bad news, there's still x86-arch specific code in there, for
the bt3card stuff.  At least ppc does not have sys/io.h. " 

There must be some uniform way to access I/O of a Cardbus PC-Card on the 
more common arch plattforms. (I did not find any - perhaps there is 
none??) Ben, can you please have a look at the code? (Sent by separate 
mail.)

kind of astonished, I chose the 3COM card explicitly according to the BlueZ 
hardware compatibility list, I could also have chosen the Xircom or Anycom 
cards; they would probably have saved a lot of messing around.
Perhaps you could correct 
http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/bt3c.html
in order to reflect the missing powerpc support.

Furthermore, you could also enhance the hardware support page by adding 
vendor co-operation information like linuxprinting.org does. I saw Anycom 
directly links to Marcel's homepage. A simple sorting of the list 
according to driver openness etc. would just suffice
