Hello everybody,

I know some people say this issue is non existing, but so far i cant
get it to work without custom scripts or other nasty things.

I don't know what is going on here exactly, but why is there no input
event and why does hcitool not show an connection after connecting
with the remote.

I would really like to see this issue fixed, would somebody be willing
to take a look at it?

Best regards,

Jelle
