  I've been searching for a way to keep my MS 6000 keyboard and MS 5000 
mouse awake.  I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with bluez 4.69, it works very well 
but I'd like to figure out how to keep them from falling asleep.  (they 
do wake up after a key-press and reconnect, but takes about 5 seconds 
each time)

I hoped l2ping might do it, but no luck.

I'll be programming for a bluetooth barcode scanner soon, is there a 
general way to keep all these devices awake?

Thank you,
Scott Serr
