that's maybe true. However the upcoming SuSE 9.2 will include it ;)

It should be possible to compile only hid2hci. Download bluez-utils-2.9
and run configure. Make sure that the USB library is installed. Then
change to the tools directory and type "make hid2hci". Then you should
get the hid2hci binary that you can copy everywhere you like.
