eventually :) i want do give some time to people to try it and give feedback.

1) what is in your /etc/bluetooth/hcsecd.conf (on both freebsd machines)?

2) can you create (with hcidump -w trace) and send to me hcidump trace
that shows the problem after you boot from windows back to freebsd?

also, as i explained to you, using the same device under two different
operating systems is a bit of a challenge. os is in charge of
initiating "pairing" process and storing link keys. just because you
pairing the same two devices does not mean that you will get the same
link key every time. as i explained to you, the best way to make it
work is to make sure link key is shared between both oses.

thanks,
