User: very unadvanced newbie (for clarity's sake: myself).
Machine: advanced, a Dell Precision M6400 with an integrated multi-function Broadcom BCM2046B1 chipset.
I recompiled the kernel without the uhid(4), the ukbd(4) and the ums(4) modules.
Now, booting and then issuing the following sequence of commands:
and finally turning the WiFi+Bluetooth hardware switch on generates the following in /var/log/messages:
even though I have neither a USB keyboard nor a USB mouse connected to the system.
This page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook contains a link to an article explaining the above phenomenon (http://times.usefulinc.com/2004/06/12-hidproxy), and also another link (http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/user/rpaulo/ubthidctl/) to the source code of a utility meant to solve the issue. Unfortunately, the latter source code is somewhat outdated. By modifying its # include directives, I managed to get it to compile, but it still doesn't do what it should -- doesn't do much at all, as a matter of fact.
Can anyone with better skills than mine please help me out?
+Extra question: I'm too stupid and ignorant to see any probable reason for which anyone would wish to configure their BIOS using a Bluetooth keyboard or a Bluetooth mouse. Could someone give me a likely case scenario?
Off-topic footnote: Thanks to bschmidt, the WiFi works flawlessly. I would just like to express my gratitude yet again.
