My tests have been disappointing, I have the wiimote plugin in
bluetoothd (the grep for wiimote in bluetoothd shows a match), but
there is no auto-pairing...

If I have bluetoothd running, and I press 1+2 (or the red button),
nothing shows in dmesg, nor in /sys/bus/hid/devices...

If I press 1+2 and start simple-agent hci0 $WIIMOTE, I get a message
asking for the PIN, but I can't type it (I must type in the wiimote BT
addr in string form, right?)

I modified simple-agent with a bit of python to return the address in
UTF-8 form:

def RequestPinCode(self, device):
    print "RequestPinCode (%s)" % (device)
    wiimote_address_bytes = os.environ["WIIMOTE"].split(":")
    n = ""
    for i in range(len(wiimote_address_bytes)-1, -1, -1):
    	if int(wiimote_address_bytes[i], 16) == 0:
           break
	n += chr(int(wiimote_address_bytes[i], 16))
    return unicode(n, "utf-8")

but I still have an error:

# ./wiimote-agent hci0 $WIIMOTE
RequestPinCode (/org/bluez/5122/hci0/dev_00_1F_C5_1B_3A_B1)
Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationRejected: Authentication Rejected

Well... I'll try again after a good night sleep :^)
