Bluetooth Card Support
From OESF
I am currently building up a list of working Bluetooth CF cards for the Zaurus. Feel free to add any findings of your own.
Below is a link to a list of cards that are supposed to work with the BlueZ drivers:

Below is a list to a list of cards that are supposed to work with the Affix drivers: http://affix.sourceforge.net/hardware.shtml
However, not all seem to work on the Zaurus for various reasons. So below is a table of cards and whether they work or not on the Zaurus.
