FreeBSD/NetBSD bluetooth stack

Hi

I think you overread that page a bit :)

From what I have gleaned their bluetooth stack is just as much abandonware as ours :)

From what I found out working on the banana-m2-berry that has one of those “SD enabled” wifi/bt chips, the bt part can be accessed as a serial device, so the current code could potentially “just work” YMMW.

But I agree 100% that we need to get our act together and get on with a a working modern BT stack, and by all means a self-contained one.
