According to the RELEASE-NOTES on the installation cdrom,
YDL 3.0 has kernel 2.4.20-ben8, meaning a version from
Ben Herrenschmidt, see www.ppckernel.org

In /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8d/drivers you can find bluetooth
but none of the other things you mention. I suppose this means
that you can add bluetooth support by recompiling the kernel
supplied with YDL (just changing the kernel configuration),
but that for the other things you will need to get a
more recent kernel source / more recent prebuilt kernel.
I experimented with some of the latter recently
but only had partial success (I was able to add hfsplus
support, but lost my network and sound cards.

If the new kernel doesn't match existing start-up scripts
and configuration settings, you have a lot more work to do...)
