Hi, I have a Socket Compact Flash Bluetooth Card Rev. G. It requires serial port with at least baud rate 230,400 to make it work. There is a patch file (attched) according to http://www.adamis.de/linux/bt-socket.html that solves the problem. Is it possible such change merge into future 8250.c linux kernel release. Thanks, Chun
