Re: FreeBSD won't see a specific bluetooth device

not resolved yet, but this is what a Kinesis employee said: the Advantage
360 Pro uses BLE.

I have used the hccontrol to do le_ scan and I can clearly see the keyboard
in the list,
but I have no idea on how to make it connect to my freeBSD host.

any help would be appreciated!

best regards,
Dmitry
