OK, so the operations we are doing are:
- Make the device "known" (add its details to the database of
devices known by a given adapter)
- Make the device trusted (enable its connection)
Has the first operation a more official name? How does it relate to
the "association" operation? Is it a device operation, in the sense
that we are adding a device, or rather an adapter operation, in the
sense that we are filling the database of a given adapter?
Thanks,
