Maksim Yevmenkin has done sterling work on the FreeBSD Netgraph-based Bluetooth stack. If there is a regression with the Bluetooth drivers in FreeBSD 8.0, then now is the best time to get it sorted out. These are fairly standard parts, however; most Bluetooth chips these days are USB and use the standard HCI interface, so it's difficult to know what's wrong, without detailed debugging information (usbdevs -v output, hccontrol output, dmesg etc). There is another Bluetooth stack in NetBSD, which was written by Iain Hibbert, sponsored by Itronix. It does not use Netgraph, however, it depends heavily on a number of NetBSD-specific system components, e.g. proplib. If you're up for all the porting work, that's great -- I would certainly not be one to discourage you -- but it seems like a lot of work just to fix a driver regression. thanks, BMS
