I finally saw some BT pcmcia cards.  I do many things with Mark Mathews
wlan drivers (Hi Mark!) but bluetooth always seemed to be a logical
extension... small range but very low power.  Unfortunately the low cost
seems to have been dropped from the requirements.  I also heard
(unconfirmed) you have to pay for documentation.  But that may be
erroneous.

The more the merrier.  The more we support the more attractive and
seductive dotGNU becomes.  I just wanted to get my point across --->
Making it too large or cumbersome for embedded devices would be a major
tactical error.
