FreeBSD does support them. If I remember correctly, one of my laptops running FreeBSD 12 has a BT device which is supported, but I don't have any BT hardware to use it... > My phone has WiFi connectivity too.

If you have a "modem/router/WLAN AP" combined device that connects your PC and your phone to the Internet, just make sure they both get IP addresses in the same subnet. In this case, you should be able to connect like this: to the Internet (not needed) | +---*---+ PC-----LAN-----| box |--< ) ) ) WLAN ) ) ) phone +-------+ So you connect "through" the box, on "IP level", not directly. But that doesn't matter. As soon as your phone has an IP, you could follow the suggestion to install an "FTP server app" on it and access your files that way - provided that the files are exported via the "FTP server app", which you have to test. > Question is : is there a WiFi adapter that is supported under FreeBSD as > well as available at Amazon India (https://www.amazon.in) ?
