Bluetooth keyboards which doesn't support HID

There exists several bluetooth keyboards which doesn't support the normal HID protocol. This means you can not simply use "hidd --connect 11:22:33:44:55:66".

I'm not able to test this program myself as I do not have a Neo yet. EsbenDamgaard 22:10, 16 August 2007 (CEST)
