not really. It is tricky and I am not willing to go back to the per
connection link policy setup, because that interferes with how with
setup Bluetooth 2.1 devices.

Problem is that this particular firmware is a custom build for Logitech
(or beta firmware) as it looks like. Also you have other problems with
not having AFH enabled when you have WiFi around.

I think that I do have the exact same mouse and keyboard at home
somewhere. But not supporting Default Link Policy is just pure stupid.
