Summary : Put HID proxying bluetooth HCI's into HCI mode
URL : http://www.bluez.org/
License : GPLv2+
Description : Most allinone PC's and bluetooth keyboard / mouse sets which
: include a bluetooth dongle, ship with a so called HID proxying
: bluetooth HCI. The HID proxying makes the keyboard / mouse show up
: as regular USB HID devices (after connecting using the connect
: button on the device + keyboard), which makes them work without
: requiring any manual configuration.
:
: The bluez-hid2hci package contains the hid2hci utility and udev
: rules to automatically switch supported Bluetooth devices into
: regular HCI mode.
:
: Install this package if you want to use the bluetooth function of
: the HCI with other bluetooth devices like for example a mobile
: phone.
:
: Note that after installing this package you will first need to
: pair your bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the bluetooth adapter
: before you can use them again. Since you cannot use your bluetooth
: keyboard and mouse until they are paired, this will require the
: use of a regular (wired) USB keyboard and mouse.
