Re: [Bluez-users] help with Logitech Travel Mouse

["Jared Greenwald" <greenwaldjared@gmail.com>]

But, I guess the question is, why is it reporting that the device is
already there?  Also, if the device is already there and its not "just
recognizing" the device, then what else could be the issue?  The other
thing is, I am running KDE with kbluetooth on and kbluetooth is
reporting the mac address when I'm running the search, but I still
don't get any connectivity.
