OK, SO...
I am running FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE on a Lenovo x260
I got the mobile broadband module working after some help and encouragement from members of the forums.
In an effort to have everything working on the laptop I've come up to a problem...
Bluetooth on this device doesn't seem to be supported.
I get the following after running
Soo. I'm guessing Bluetooth for this laptop isn't yet supported. dmesg doesn't have a ubt0 anywhere and in /var/log/messages the only mention of bluetooth is:
Yes I have searched google. Yes I have followed the handbook. The conclusion I come up with is it is a 4.1 Bluetooth device and not currently supported.
So.. What to do?
I am an intermediately skilled C programmer, I know the difference between a process and a thread, know what pointers are and how to abuse them as well as structs and linked lists.
I figure I might as well become part of the community and try and contribute something.. Where do I start?
I have a copy of the following;
FreeBSD device drivers
FreeBSD Rootkits(kernel hacking)
as well as; The design and implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, 2nd Ed.
So I'm good for reading material. I just need a starting point. I have the laptop datasheet.
I like the ideals of FreeBSD and the community around it..I guess I'm just trying to say 'Hello World'
cheers.
