did the card work after your changes?

from what i know there are at least two versions of the 3com bluetooth 
card. i just tries mine and got

pccard0: CIS version PC Card Standard 5.0
pccard0: CIS info: 3COM, 3CRWB60-A, Bluetooth PC Card
pccard0: Manufacturer code 0x101, product 0x40

so the card i have is apparently version 1 card (product id 0x40), and 
according to your dmesg

pccard1: CIS version PC Card Standard 7.1
pccard1: CIS info: 3Com, 3CRWB6096B Bluetooth PC Card, ,
pccard1: Manufacturer code 0x101, product 0x41

so it looks like you have version 2 (or other?) card - product id 0x41.

ng_bt3c(4) driver was only tested with version 1 card (the one i have - 
product id 0x40). i do not own other version(s) of the card. if you 
could please tell me how to identify the card i can try to find and 
purchase it locally.

you could also try to look at linux bluez mailing lists and try to 
figure out what is the difference between version 1 and version 2 cards.

thanks,
max
