Having heard on another forum that the Cxy00 series not only had the hardware for sdio but also had a driver, I bought a Socket SDIO bluetooth card as an experiment (was relatively cheap on ebay) - it's actually a Toshiba one under the skin.
The top is labelled CODE SDIO Card Type-B for Bluetooth Socket(tm) Bluetooth SDIO Card Underneath CODE Toshiba SD-BT2 ~~mac address~~ FCC ID:CJ6MSDB01 IC:248H-MSDB01 R-LARN-02-0261 ~~logos & Japanese~~ 91LP0282 Approved by IDA for use in Singapore DA101747 TOSHIBA CORPORATION MADE IN JAPAN CE0681(!) OK, so what happened when I inserted it? There was a loud bang, a flash and when the smoke cleared my Zaurus had turned into solid gold!  OK, I kid you... nothing much, except when I did "dmesg | tail" I saw this (lots of the CRC errors, but the magic lines appeared: CODE pxa_sd_wait_id_response: responce CRC error (cmd=05 MMC_STAT=0x2160) .... pxa_sd_wait_id_response: responce CRC error (cmd=05 MMC_STAT=0x2160) pxa_sd_wait_id_response: responce CRC error (cmd=05 MMC_STAT=0x2160) aloha: SII AH-S101S (Aloha) driver v0.44 aloha_serial: register aloha serial OK aloha: aloha driver initialized I did an "ls -latr /dev | tail -5" but didn't see much that made me think "bluetooth serial port". Soooo, the kernel sees the card, sort of, but what next? If I could get a plain rfcomm connection, I could use bluetooth GPS coupled with my CF wifi, run gpsd and kismet! |

I think you have more chance of a solid gold Z, actually
 The only sdio driver I know of is c-guys 860 wifi sdio driver; certainly never heard of an cxx00 sdio driver for anything.

There's one for kernel 2.6, I think someone even added the patches to linux-rp in OE. |

Worst case you could try putting it in a SD -> CF adapter.

Meanie said sdio driver was in the sharp kernel: http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...ndpost&p=156072 and putting the card in appears to trigger loading a device driver... so I'm afraid you're a bit behind the times. However, that's not to say that the device driver actually does anything useful! |

I've been trying to post this link for the past four days, but never got validation until today:
SourceForge has a page for a Linux SDIO project that's descended from MontaVista's SDIO stack; it's a patch file for Linux 2.6.18 kernels, but could probably be adapted to whatever pdaXrom is using currently. Note that while the PXA270 is specifically supported, only Atheros SDIO wi-fi cards are supported at the moment. I'll have a couple more links this evening. |

Pierre Ossman and Marcel Holtmann are already rewriting the mmc layer to accomodate SDIO. That mvista patch is serverely outdated and unmergable. |

Theoretically you might get it working with any of SDIO stacks. The latest one (not yet in mainline kernel, but in mmc#sdio git tree) is even Open Source.
Specially for Socket cards, Embwise has their proprietary drivers certified for Zaurus and you can license them. |

Now I'm running angstrom-latest on c3100, what *should* I observe if I plug in my Toshiba bluetooth SDIO card?

AFAIK, mmc#sdio git tree is not yet merged to mainline kernel nor Angstrom. It might happen sometimes in time of 2.6.24. It needs a git expert to get a patch to the current Angstrom kernel. Maybe it would even require backporting. Once if it will work, there is a chance to get Socket SDIO Bluetooth working, but not any of their Go WiFi cards - these cards have an unknown proprietary chip. |
