Are > there any alternatives to make the device useable under FreeBSD? actually there is no dependency on the Linux BT stack and for accessing the USB functions it uses libusb. However for switching the Logitech Bluetooth hub it uses some hiddev magic which is Linux specific. So if you rib out the Logitech stuff there should be no problem in running hid2hci under any operating system that has support for libusb. Regards Marcel
