jear, basic support has already gone into 2.6.32! But basic support
means, that the default kernel boots on the freerunner. Not even the
Display works yet ;) As far as I understand the threads from
community lists some features will not enter main in the next time
(e.g. ath6k).

uhm there is intone, which has bluetooth playing capabilities, but
you need to connect the bluetooth headset first. I'm doing this with
a small script, but it would be no problem writing a small UI for
this.
