Huh, my bad, I should have actually test Jiri's patch instead of
thinking "this can not break anything".

So Jiri, your patch does not work because the device index 0 is the
receiver, and 1-6 are the wireless devices attached to this receiver. So
basically, this new patch removes the ability to have 6 devices paired.

I'll try to come out with something by the end of the day which would
both prevent the out of bound and allow to have 6 true wireless devices.

Cheers,
Benjamin
