Can you tell us a little more about what happened?  I know of a number
of people using such configurations with little or no trouble (myself
included!).  Unless the Bt946 is misconfigured, it should have been
recognised by the 2.0 boot disk, to say nothing of the later one.

Please send us your boot message output, particularly as it relates to
the bt0 device.  I strongly suspect a simple misconfiguration problem
that, once rectified, will allow your machine to come up with flying
colors.
