Overo includes Bluetooth and WLAN; they work just fine on mine, once I hook up their antennae.

It's the same ARM cpu ... but the Beagle is a higher end version, which also includes the OpenGL engine, C64+ DSP, and video accelerator.

I'd expect the 2.6.29 kernel will support most of the features of these boards out-of-the-box, possibly excepting the DVI (and for Beagle, S-Video) output for which I don't know that mainline will behave. Of course, there's still a boatload of OMAP support that's not yet in mainline. That may matter to you if you hook it up to something other than the standard buddyboard.
