Maybe with implementation begun by someone else? > TIA Hello Graham, Christos Margiolis looked into implementing a Bluetooth device management utility but found that the Bluetooth stack in recent FreeBSD versions is too unstable for such a utility to be useful. These Bluetooth issues need to be addressed first: - hccontrol(8) is unreliable - Bluetooth services often require multiple restarts to function - Connections to headphones and speakers are frequently lost >From https://github.com/orgs/FreeBSDFoundation/projects/1/views/4, I see 'Ensure Bluetooth drivers work' and 'Improve Bluetooth management/usability' are planned for the future. Hope this helps, Joe
