Reading this http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1802 suggests that the mmc module has a removable parameter that might come handy. Note however that if you should eject the card while suspending, bad things will happen. Try sudo modinfo -p mmc You can set the parameters in /etc/modprobe.d

I'm trying to connect a Lego Mindstorms NXT brick to my computer with Bluetooth. Windows computers I've tested can see and connect to the brick just fine, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the brick or the Bluetooth transmitter. When I plug the transmitter in, a setup icon with the

Oh, I didn't know that. Anyway, I recommend the TP-Link TL-WN722N, version 1. When I got it (last month) it was the only version. If it still is, then you should be safe, since it uses AR9271+AR7010. However, you need the open-ath9k-htc-firmware package.
