Hey,
I don't understand the reason why plugins/sixaxis.c doesn't set the
device as trusted when plugged in.
It's because of security. If you trust a bluetooth device on Linux,
you're trusting it for all services.
Just as a side note: This is not a good security rule. Why should I
trust a game controller on any other service then controlling my game
moves?
Also differentiating a network service from an input service wouldn't be
that hard (at least at OS level), it won't help much in regard to the
topic because you can't really differentiate a gamepad from a keyboard
(both are HID input devices).
And you just don't want to automatically enable (trust) a (wireless)
remote input (especially a keyboard) if someone managed it to plug in
some USB device into your Linux box without any user interaction.
