Is encryption supported?

I am looking for a way to turn on encryption. Apparently the
gnubox application, which I need to get my Nokia 6620 doing
TCP/IP over bluetooth, insists on enabling encryption.
I have tried:
$ hccontrol -n ubt0hci write_encryption_mode 1
$ hccontrol -n ubt0hci read_encryption_mode
Encryption mode: Only for point-to-point packets [0x1]
However when I look at a connection I see it is not encrypted:
$ hccontrol -n ubt0hci read_connection_list
Remote BD_ADDR Handle Type Mode Role Encrypt Pending Queue State
Nokia6620 7 ACL 0 MAST NONE 0 0 OPEN
I see that Linux has a flag in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf to turn
on encryption. It also has a -encrypt command line option to dund.
Is this a limitation with FreeBSD?
