I like to have this all in one and that the PCMCIA ones are in a
different binary package is a distro problem. They don't have to be
since we don't have the dependency of pcmcia-cs anymore. That is ancient
2.4 stuff.

If you are doing this, then also please modify hid2hci so it can take a
parameter to select the device you run it for. Currently it would switch
all of them. Even if you trigger it for only one.

And I was actually more thinking to convert hid2hci into a bluetoothd
plugin so the core daemon has control over it. Think about it.

Regards

Marcel
