> Anyone happen to know if bluetooth is supported in BSD? > > I was thinking of getting a little USB Bluetooth adapter:) I have just looked into this myself, so here is a brief summary of my findings. Bluetooth is supported via the netgraph framework, though only in 5.1 and 5-CURRENT. The USB adapters supported seem quite varied, from what I've read, although 5.1's hardware notes only mentions a few : http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/hardware-i386.html#BLUETOOTH According to a message ( http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/net/2003-08/0130.html ) from Maksim Yevmenkin, the guy who wrote the bluetooth stack, a lot more adapters will work, based on their Linux support, see the link in the message. Finally, here are some instructions on setting up bluetooth on FreeBSD : http://www.oook.cz/bsd/bluetooth.html Good luck, Jonathan
