What Bluetooth CF cards do developers use?
So far I've bought three CF cards to use with BlueZ. The first wasn't supported well at all. The second set (Socket, without a protruding antenna) was slick but doesn't work with BlueZ under Linux 2.6.
I want to get something that will work under 2.6 and is likely to continue working for awhile (so that I don't have to convince my boss to keep buying new ones). I suspect that the best way to do that is to get whatever the developers use.
So...what's a good choice? I'd especially like to find something that will readily work with the Zaurus. A product that is readily available at Best Buy/Circuit City/... is preferred.
Thank you.

someone just asked me the same question. Actually I don't know what's the best CF card so far. The non working Socket 2.5 is very bad, but it is not the fault of the Bluetooth developers, because I think the problem is in the serial subsystem. Starting with 2.6.6-rc2 the Anycom CF-300 is finally supported. Actually the card works in my development machine.
And actually I don't use any CF card for development. I do everything with Bluetooth development boards with USB and serial connectors.
Regards
Marcel

Has that been noted anywhere useful?

Sounds like a winner. I'll look for it.

I thought USB might be the answer so last week I bought two USB Bluetooth adapters (Belkin and Kensington). Only one (barely) fits in the USB slot of my Toughbook. The other fits enough to make contact but if I happen to bump either one out of the socket the kernel crashes. That's not what I need when I'm on the road.
Thank you for the info.

it has been raised on the serial mailing list, but the problem is that nobody really knows where the problem is, because some cards are still working.

Don't blame me if it don't works in a Zaurus ;)

The USB related kernel oopses should all be fixed with the upcoming 2.6.6, I hope.

I'd be happy to just get it working in my Toughbook for now. I inserted it and got "cs: pcmcia_socket0: unable to apply power."
I'll try it in the Zaurus later.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Yea! Will a BlueZ patch be required or is it all going to be in the kernel this time?
Thank you.

I never have seen this. You should ask the guys from the LKML.

Right now 2.6.5-mh3 and 2.6.6-rc2 has every needed fix in it, but new problems are on the road and we are trying to fix them just in time.

Oh...I've been using 2.6.5-mh3.
I suppose I should provide some information?
