RE: [iPAQ] bluetooth/pcmcia status?

1. We haven't tried the Bluetooth/CF sleeve under Linux. Stay tuned.
I'd like to get it working soon, but we need parts.

2. There are ipkgs for Bluetooth for the iPAQ in the usual places ---
look for "bluetooth-modules-2.4.16-rmk1" and the like. These are the
standard Linux kernel Bluetooth modules. I have not seen them actually
work.
