Is there an equivalent of "maemo-bt-plugin" for the N800? (was: Re: N800 gpsbabel supporting the WBT-201)

No, I don't have a debian repository yet. Sorry! Maybe I'll ask at
maemo.org if I may use their extra repository soon. Anyway, I wanted to
gain some confidence that the port works for people before I put it in
some repository...

Yes, without an apt repository, that's the way to go...

Well, on the 770 there is the very convienient maemo-bt-plugin which
supports Bluetooth keyboards and GPS devices. For the latter it exactly
takes care of setting up /dev/rfcomm0.

I was surprised to find out that this does not exist for the N800 but
suspected that there must be some onboard tool which does that and make
maemo-bt-plugin obsolete. Obviously I was wrong.

Does anybody know anything about that? Is there a reason for
maemo-bt-plugin not to exist for the N800?

Tilman
