Does it have Bluetooth, because OpenBSD still doesn't.
- clort 2mo agoNetBSD has had Bluetooth for 20 years?
- ninjin 2mo agoYes, and it is in fact the NetBSD Bluetooth stack [1] that OpenBSD had ported from the 4.2 release until it was ripped out in 5.6 [2]. Not to mention that the NetBSD Bluetooth stack is based on code from FreeBSD. [1]: https://man.netbsd.org/NetBSD-11.x-BRANCH/bluetooth.3 https://man.netbsd.org/NetBSD-11.x-BRANCH/bluetooth.3 [2]: https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-5.5/bluetooth.4 https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-5.5/bluetooth.4 There is a lot of sharing going on between the BSDs. Most commonly drivers being handed back and forth.
- Narishma 2mo agoOpenBSD removed the Bluetooth support they had due to security reasons.
- mghackerlady 2mo agoSpecifically, their old bluetooth code was crap so they chose to get rid of it. If someone wants to have OpenBSD bluetooth, they'll gladly accept patches if the code meets their very strict standards
- bigfatkitten 2mo agoI don’t think a non-crap general purpose Bluetooth stack exists. The “specification” is garbage and the implementations tend to be garbage also.
- hamper653 2mo ago> OpenBSD still doesn't. It’s a choice.
- Gud 2mo ago“Still doesn’t”, is a weird way of saying “OpenBSD removed support for Bluetooth because Bluetooth is not secure”.
- guerrilla 2mo agoRegardless of the reason, it still doesn't have Bluetooth, so I still can't use it.
