I'm subscribed to Bluez-users digest as well as gnome-bluetooth,
read this group on Gmane, and I would v. much like to know where
I could see that discussion...

Admittedly, *following* it might well be a different thing, for
me, but I don't remember seeing references to the PIN helper
concept being deprecated. I have seen references on Ubuntu's
Users Mailing List that "pairing in edgy eft seems disabled or
at least inactive" but I don't know if that's just rumour.

I'm probably doing something horribly, horribly wrong. Any
info greatly appreciated.

Regards.
