    Hi,

    I'm looking to purchase a CF-19 with quite a few optional extras. I've searched high and low to try and find whether the options I want will be compatible with my operating system of choice (Free/OpenBSD). I realise not may folks on here will be running *BSD on one of these machines so I'll be happy to get whatever information I can. Ideally, I'd like a list of USB IDs (vendor & product) & PCI IDs; a dmesg from a CF-19 running Linux/*BSD; or a list of the possible makes/models/chipsets of the following parts:

    Smartcard reader (I believe this is integrated)
    Camera (Supertek/Supertech(?))
    Bluetooth
    GPS
    Fingerprint reader (UPEK)
    Gobi HSDPA

    Any help would be greatly appreciated and will gain the poster a virtual beer/lager/coffee ;-).

    thanks

    I've managed to find some information from reading the various manuals that are linked to from this site, but I'm still missing a few bits.

    Fingerprint reader (UPEK TSC1? - probably won't work or at least is not supported by libfprint)
    GPS appears to be a UART based device (should work)
