USB Bluetooth Adapter Purchase

[Andrew Marks]

Hey,

I am looking to buy a usb bluetooth adapter or two, and I want
them to work with FreeBSD. Do I have to get one of these?

o 3Com 3CREB96
o AIPTEK BR0R02
o EPoX BT-DG02
o Mitsumi Bluetooth USB adapter
o MSI MS-6967
o TDK Bluetooth USB adapter

or when the man page says:

The ng_ubt driver supports all Bluetooth USB devices that conform with
the Bluetooth specification v1.1, including:

does that mean I can just pick up a cheap, v1.1 conforming, $10 usb
bluetooth device and it will work?

-Andrew

FYI: I am running 5.3-Release

Yes. :)

well, in general yes, but there are few exception. i always recommend to
check the following page

http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/devices.html

if the driver column has 'hci_usb' then the usb device will work.

thanks,
max

p.s. it would be nice to have similar page for FreeBSD, anyone?
