I believe the dependence issue has to do with > entering the non-MPSAFE TTY code without Giant, and perhaps this is easily > addressed... yes, ng_h4(4) uses giant to enter tty code. i have some code, i wrote long time ago, similar to what ng_tty(4) does, however, i was waiting for tty changes. i will see if i can fix it, or, since almost no one uses serial bluetooth dongles anymore, retire it completely thanks, max
