Hello, Today I set up a bluetooth keyboard on a FreeBSD machine for the first time. The machine is running FreeBSD 7.0-stable: root@kg-vm# uname -a FreeBSD kg-vm.kg4.no 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #10: Sat Apr 12 21:42:55 CEST 2008 root@kg-vm.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 I used the Handbook chapter about bluetooth[1] (which needs updating as it doesn't mention bthidd at all) and mailing list messages as my guide. Basically, I found out that I needed to set up hcsecd(8) and bthidd(8) in order for this to work. You can read more ramblings about this experience on my "various hardware"[3] page. I wrote a mini how-to about the setup here[2], in case anyone is interested. I haven't worked with netgraph before. Netgraph devices aren't supposeed to create device node (names) in /dev, right? where does /etc/rc.d/bluetooth fit in the picture? Do I need to use that at all?
