I think this is what the Wii does when in the "home" screen where you are supposed to press 1+2 because it will find the remote also when pressing the sync button (I have a Wiimote that I need to pair from the home screen pressing sync because it doesn't wake up with 1+2) -- Daniele Forsi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
