Available! WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS in one half height card

Well, after you verify that you are happy with the card. Cut the plastic boss from the lower case and reposition, with plastic cement in the correct place

I was thinking about this solution... Is there any information available with regards to run this card under Linux??

According to Data Sheet (http://www.wi2wi.com/products/datasheets/W2CBWG01.pdf) it only has XP and Vista drivers.

This statement on the product page : "Based upon Marvell's and Cambridge Silicon Radio's industry leading technologies" means that native Linux support for the WiFi part probably is available - IF the Marvell chipset in use is the Libertas chipset (same as in the OLPC). The Marvell Libertas chipset is supported by kernel drivers since 2.6.22.
If it is another Marvell chipset, then you should be able to use the Windows drivers together with Ndiswrapper, although that is a major kludge.

The BT chipset should be supported out of the box, since CSR's chipsets is supported by BlueZ drivers.

The GPS presents a standard serial uart port and NMEA output, so GPSD should be able to speak to it.
