I bought this card too, and also experienced problems installing it.

Thanks to this site I was able to install the "work-around" drivers and got the bt F8T020 card working on my iPAQ 3950 which runs PPC 2003.(Yes, sorry I own an iPAQ).

The card connects nicely with my Adapt BT GPS receiver. But now the weird thing comes:

For no apparent reason the connection between the GPS and the iPAQ is lost. The BT Browser comes up again and I have to reselect the "PPP Slave" to activate the connection again.

I have times when it disconnects once every 2 hours but I also have times when it disconnects 20 times in 1 hour.

This had gotten me so frustrated during my holiday in Italy last two weeks I hard-resetted the iPAQ and bought I CF GPS card and used that one.

I'm getting pretty depressed with this card and I'm even thinking about buying a new PocketPC with BT already integrated in it..... So I really hope this problem does ring any bells out there and someone has a solution for me...

Greetings from a desperate iPAQ & Belkin User.
