In the meanwhile we need more testers and as I see it, the best way to do this is to make the code easily available to users. The code is completely self contained so can not break anything. Especially as it is not compiled by default. You need to cgo compile it specially and then load the modules before you face any danger and even then it seem sto work.... The current patch is at: http://www.geocities.com/m_evmenkin/ngbt-commit-2002-11-05.tar.gz Though some slight Makefile changes will happen by the time of a commit. Specifically, the Makefiles for the modules are in sys/netgraph/bluetooth at the moment but will be in /modules/netgraph/bluetooth at commit and the man pages are also presently in the source but would be committed in the correct place. These, and the Makefiles are currently where they are to allow testers to unpack test, and delete everything in one place, and I don't consider changing their location as being relevent for a discussion of whether to commit. I'm impressed by the completeness of the code and the fact that documentation is included. I'd like to see it committed before DP2 so that others can try it. This would be needed before we can claim that 5.0 has bluetooth support, which would be nice for the specs. The driver for the 3com card would not be immediatly committed as we are still in discussion with 3com regarding the ability to distribute a binary of the firmware with the driver. julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
