As I promised, I'll take care of it and it will be my focus to commit it
before next stable release.

Details, please? Why patching is necessary etc.

Sdpd got some significant fixes during last weeks in NetBSD repository
regarding ServiceSearchAttribute and ServiceSearch request handling. Did
you looked at these?

This needs to be fixed of course, but isn't very critical. For some reason
there is many bugs like this :(.

Our USB stack isn't best either :(.

I'd recommend looking at bthcid code before introducing dependency of
proplib and/or hcsecd in FreeBSD. AFAIK the only functionality you will
loose with direct port of old bthcid, is the ability to match local
addresses. Not critical IMHO.

There is option of course to bring in proplib(3) from NetBSD of course,
but I'd rather avoid it at least for now. One daemon using it isn't enough
IMHO :). Or is there someone interested in it?

No problem.

Nice. It might be hard though, full duplex audio doesn't work with our
uaudio(4) either AFAIK.

I'm here, but a little bit busy with personal life. And as it's hard real
time task, it's impossible to preempt this ;(. I can't make promises
whether I get HID devices working for next release, but I'll work on this.

No problem, I think that we all have seen worse ;).

Thank you very much for your work.
