Sorry, I thought the CC to linux-bluetooth was enough!

Ok, I'll look into docs about L2CAP.

Thanks for the info.

My trouble is that when I start simple-agent and then push 1+2 to pair
the wiimote with my laptop, simple-agent doesn't ask for the
PIN... should it happens automagically?

I have grepped the files in /var/lib/bluetooth, I have found my mote
BT address in the files but nothing clearly linked to the PIN key. I
read on wiimote-brew that it was the mote BT address in binary form?

Thanks again! :^)
