Half a year ago I \"borrowed for-live\" a Belkin BT Card, (the one that gets out of my sl-c750 about 1cm, rounded, with a kinf of big led, model f8t020.
No way. I didn\'t work; I spent about 48hours reading documentation, kernel recompiling, config files tweking, and couldn\'t make it work. Sometimes I thoguht I was very close using some csr chipset tricks, but reaility is it never worked.
I ordered a Socket CF BT, which arrived with the \'dangerous\' G at the back; but with my previous Belkin experience, I got it working in two hours, looks nicer, at fits perfectly into my zaurus, with not a single mm. getting out of the CF slot. It works great.
In case you have a socket rev. G, there\'s documentation in many posts about how to set it up; tumnus has included support for this card in his bluez stack software; and I\'m sure tumnus and I are here to help, so it should be a pretty secure buy.
BTW:
1) i don\'t work for socket, even I own a socket BT, socket wifi and socket modem (uhm...)
2) Belkin BT looks very similar to DELL-branded BT card; I assume they are the same, just with different brand sticker
Hope that helps.
