Hi guys,

I am pleased to see all the hard work going in to maintaining the 
FreeBSD Bluetooth support...

I wonder though if anyone has considered implementing the Linux APIs ?

It's kinda difficult to build applications with what we currently have 
in FreeBSD -- a whole host of higher level language bindings have popped 
up. Whilst they've done work on making sure it works on Windows with all 
the stacks they have there, I wonder if FreeBSD's being different from 
Linux is doing us any good here.

Just a suggestion... as it is, I've had to side-step FreeBSD for the 
time being for what I am cooking at the moment :-(

cheers
BMS
