i have the same card. this is 16550 UART based card. the sio(4) driver
will recognize it as serial port/modem. i can make it work with OLDCARD.
here is the part of my kernel config.
# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
device pcic # PCMCIA bridge
device card 1 # pccard bus
# NEW CARD
#device cbb # cardbus (yenta) bridge
#device pccard
#device cardbus
# Serial (COM) ports
device sio # 8250, 16[45]50 based serial ports
also you will need to run pccardd(8). here is the part of my /etc/pccard.conf
# Xircom CreditCard Bluetooth Apater
card "Xircom" "CreditCard-Bluetooth-Adapter" "CBT"
config auto "sio" ?
in order to use the card as bluetooth adapter you will need
- ng_h4(4) module - bluetooth H4 line discipline.
- hcserial(8) daemon - supervisor for serial bluetooth devices
/usr/share/examples/netgraph/bluetooth/rc.bluetooth script does everything
for you. all you need to do is
- plug the card
- run rc.bluetooth start sioX (where X is a port number)
IMPORTANT: due to problems with sio(4) driver (buffer overrun errors even
under light load) you probably will not be able to use this card. bluetooth
H4 link *must* be reliable. i can only do very limited testing before sio(4)
starts complaining about buffer overrun errors and bluetooth links becomes
broken.
thanks,
max
