Possible ? anyone doing something like this ? With USB dongles, the way to do BLE stuff is to access the dongle from userspace on the raw USB level. The kernel bluetooth stack would use classic non-LE Bluetooth only. I've had https://github.com/noble/noble working about three years ago, even contributed patches for FreeBSD support. Also https://gist.github.com/myfreeweb/44f4f3e791a057bc4f3619a166a03b87 is a devd config for not attaching the kernel driver automatically.home | help
