pcmcia bluetooth card problem

OK, I have a bluetooth (bt) mouse, and two bt adapters. One adapter is usb and it works perfectly i.e. my bt mouse connects to it no probs. The other adaptor I have is pcmcia, which doesnt 'work'.

Here is the result of:    udevinfo -a -p /sys/bus/pcmcia/devices/1.0

  looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.1/1.0':
    KERNEL=="1.0"
    SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia"
    DRIVER=="serial_cs"
ATTR{modalias}=="pcmcia:m0279c950Bf02fn00pfn00pa281F1C5Dpb7664FB1Dpc00000000pd00000000"
    ATTR{prod_id2}=="Bluetooth Card"
    ATTR{prod_id1}=="PCMCIA"
    ATTR{card_id}=="0x950b"
    ATTR{manf_id}=="0x0279"
    ATTR{func_id}=="0x02"
    ATTR{pm_state}=="on"
    ATTR{function}=="0x00"

So udev finds it and knows what it is no probs. However, hidd --search does absolutely nothing:

>hidd --search
searching ...
>
i.e. after the hidd command it prints searching and immediately goes back to a command prompt. Its not actually doing anything. I run kde and kbluetooth doesnt register that a bluetooth adapter is present at all.

looking back at the udevinfo output I think the driver thats being assigned is worng. As far as I understand the serial_cs driver is for pcmcia modems. Under suse 10.1 my pcmcia bt adapter works perfectly but udevinfo shows that the driver is "yenta_cardbus"

can anyone explain how I could force the driver used for my pcmcia bt adapter under arch to be "yenta_cardbus" or otherwise enlighten me as to what my problem might be.

Thanks
