How about incorporating such a > lib in the basesystem along with libsdp and libbluetooth (similar to lib_hci > of bluez)? funny you should mention that. someone actually asked me about this a while ago and even promised to start the work. there was a short thread in freebsd-bluetooth http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-bluetooth/2005-September/000410.html and i also have few email addressed directly to me. you might want to contact this person and ask about the progress. thanks, max
