It is possible to make bluetooth on FreeBSD work. But you have to know
a lot about Bluetooth, devices, discovery, etc. The tools FreeBSD has for
this are quite primitive and support little more than mice, keyboards, and
serial ports (though file exchange is possible). I have not seen any active
development of Bluetooth, though, in 5 or more years.
