I bought a Habey Wifi+Bluetooth combo card (along with the RAM upgrade) from Newegg and tried it out to see if I was able to get Bluetooth. I couldn't get the Bluetooth to work no matter what I tried. After searching around, I read that the firmware (for the Bluetooth side of the card) is written to announce itself as a USB even though it's a Mini-PCIe, and there wasn't really any way to fix it. It only appears in the hardware list only for Linux kernel 3.0+ and I think someone was able to get it to work (in spite of the firmware) with 3.1.x. I decided then to keep it and wait for something maybe, but I RMA'd it since I found something else. Oh, the card was actually made by AzureWave, and Habey just re-sells it or something like that...

The one I found is an Intel brand. Now there's only two problems I may have with it. I've read that it may not compatible with AMD processors, but I don't think that will really happen anyway (not to mention the on-board audio is listed as an Intel when I'm watching the messages as I'm booting into openSUSE). The other problem I may have is that the Wifi may not work, the only reason I'm partially sceptical of this is because I only found one instance of it in Ubuntu and didn't find any other instances of it (in either Ubuntu or openSUSE).

Of course the only problem is that I had to spend a bit over $9 to RMA the card, and with the refund from it I needed to get the HD 6770 for Mei Ren (I actually lost a few dollars in total, but oh well). So I haven't been able to buy Intel combo card yet. I'm honestly hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
