Hi guys and gals again!!

To break the latest, I am moving on to something that the problem now has arrisen. I was after a bluetooth card, so I went for a TDK card. The company I got it from quoted: "(Pocked PC drivers are in development but not released)". It was rather cheap, cost me £13.75 including delivery and took 4 weeks to get here even when it came from Manchester! (Thankfully, not delayed yet again!) Unfortuately this card has since been discontinued. .
My question, here is a photo of the card that arrived this morning (around 11:00 GMT +1 time)

The problem:
Started up the MP, added the card, got a reaction, couldn't find the drivers, not on the CD, not on the web, not anywhere (and I know the device is too old to contain bluetooth support.). So what I need is someone to pass me a link for some sort of bluetooth software and some sort of CSR driver (since it is generic) for the HPC Pro platform.
For those wondering, here is some specs: http://www.tdksystems.com/products/tech.asp?ID=342 Well, simliar, my one differs being only 10m range.

Relying on the words "Pocket PC drivers in development" was fatal here, especially as you're posting in the H/PC Pro forum.

There are a couple of cards in the HCL, your best chance is to try one of the 2.11 drivers from there... that and be REALLY nice to cmonex.

hehehe

Wessex_nut, sorry but i'm afraid C:Amie is right, you need to buy one of the cards in the HCL that has MIPS hpc pro support..
i made the same mistake, but i was more lucky as the 720 has hpc2000 so i could hack its (existing!!) ppc drivers..

Hack? You mean? The other problem, they haven't been released yet if they ever will be!

oh you must never buy a product the drivers don't exist for yet... if they promise to write them that isn't enough. i'm sure you can find another bluetooth card with existing drivers..
