Hello,
Today I set up a bluetooth keyboard on a FreeBSD machine for the first
time. The machine is running FreeBSD 7.0-stable:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] uname -a
FreeBSD kg-vm.kg4.no 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #10: Sat Apr 12

I used the Handbook chapter about bluetooth[1] (which needs updating as
it doesn't mention bthidd at all) and mailing list messages as my guide.
Basically, I found out that I needed to set up hcsecd(8) and bthidd(8)
in order for this to work. You can read more ramblings about this
experience on my "various hardware"[3] page. I wrote a mini how-to
about the setup here[2], in case anyone is interested.
I haven't worked with netgraph before. Netgraph devices aren't
supposeed to create device node (names) in /dev, right?
where does /etc/rc.d/bluetooth fit in the picture? Do I need to use
that at all?

You can mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to. There are some
responsive people with the right knowledge overthere.
rc.bluetooth was "retired" a year ago and is no longer a part of recent
releases.
That said, I am also unsure of how to get Bluetooth working for my Treo
as the handbook is clearly out of date. I see several Bluetooth files in
/etc which probably allow things to work without rc.bluetooth, but I am
unsure of how to configure them. There is a man page on hcsecd which I
am reading.
In any case, the handbook is clearly out of date in this area and I will
try to figure it out as available time allows.
I think you need to load vkbd (though I'm not 100% sure now). It can be
loaded from loader.conf[.local]
Then you always need hcsecd loaded and configured and bluetooth hosts
file configured is useful.
And the same for bthidd if you want to use BT mouse and/or keyboard.
M.
