I currently have a setup where I have a Bluetooth adapter on a Linux box, and one on Windows. Everything is configured properly. I connect from the Windows Bluetooth adapter to the Linux one via "Local Area Connection 2" in XP over TCP/IP. I manually type "ifconfig bnep0 192.168.3.1" to assign the adapter an IP, then I have to restart DHCPD to acquire an IP address over Bluetooth. This all works great.
My first question is: Is there a way to recognize when a connection is made, so I can create a script or some code to automatically set bnep0 to 192.168.3.1 and restart the dhcp server?
I only have 2 Bluetooth adapters. What if I used a 3rd from windows to connect to Linux at the same time another one is connected. Will it allow multiple connections? Will it show up as bnep1 or still use bnep0?

I know Slackware has hotplug scripts. You might want to look there.
