   It works, and it works pretty well.

   The GENERICBT kernel is configured for irq 12, port 0x330.

The only problem I've had so far with running 1.1.5.1 on my BT-445S
is that I found a comment somewhere that one should move one of the
undocumented switches on the board. This made the kernel _not_
recognizing the board (complained about incorrect setup of the board).
Changing the switch back to the factory position made everything work.
