Lo ppl,
i'd like to link a WinME PC to my FreeBSD via Bluetooth or WLAN, depending
on what
works and / or is cheaper. The (air-line) distance is around 10 meters
through 2
walls.
What would you recommend for this scenario (e.g., what drivers will work
fine with
FreeBSD)?
- 2 WLAN devices
- Internal PCI card
- external USB box
Or
- 2 bluetooth USB dongles
While i'm sure i will find a way to make windows use ip over bluetooth, i
wonder if
FreeBSD in the latest release will make it. I found this project:
http://bluez.sourceforge.net
The FreeBSD mailing archives lead me to this link, but on this site it talks
of Linux
only, and i cannot compile it on FreeBSD =(
The bluetooth solution seems smarter to me, and i'd love to see it work on
my fav OS,
as i can plug it out and carry it around in my pocket, use it with cellular
phones,
notebooks, other computers etc, so i would try this if bluetooth is
supported at least
in a basic manner.
Any comments appreciated, thanx!
