Hi Rutger

Marcel made a "proof of concept" program long time ago, but it seems
he didn't give a copy to anyone, and now it is lost. He does not have
time/interest to re-make it either. AFAIR, he described the protocol
as "a strange beast running on top of the HID protocol", but no more
technical info was available at the time I searched for it (Almost two
years ago).

If you have any reverse engineering skills, do you really depend on a
bluetooth sniffer? As far as I know, there is a program called "USB
Spy" for Windows that can capture the communication going to and from
the hub.

I wish you the best of luck. A generic command line tool would be
great for amaroK/Kopete/Kmail plugins. Maybe this tool is something
that can be achieved with a bounty, or something like elance.com. I
know that those few that own the diNovo are drooling for this feature,
probably enough to chip in a few bucks.

Kind regards
