Hello.
I can't find a way to pair my wiimote with my computer.
I started simple-agent, and tried an rfcomm connection with
# rfcomm connect 1 $WIIMOTE
but I didn't get the prompt for the PIN key to establish the connection.
Is there a file or database somewhere where I can enter this number
manually, saving me some trouble?
I am on Slackware Linux, so I have no access to Gnome or KDE tools to
set up my Bluetooth connections. I succeded with pairing and sharing
files with my cell phone, but not with the wiimote; I have trouble
with a wireless headzset too...
Thanks.

The Wii Remote does not support RFCOMM connections. What are you
trying to do here? Furthermore, the Wii Remote expects a fixed PIN
which is generated by BlueZ automatically for you.

You cannot share files with the Wii Remote. It simply does not support
this. The Wii Remote can only be used as input device. There is a
kernel driver which supports that.
