Re: [PATCH] Fix Apple Wireless keyboard pairing?

Hi Bastien:

Yeah, I'll definitely agree these keyboards are quite finicky to get
paired.  I was initially hoping your patch would help that, but then
realized it won't affect mine.  It seems that the only way I've gotten
them to improve is if I remove any other devices that were paired with
them previously from the proximity and try to find a good combination of
pressing buttons in the GUI and pressing the power button on the keyboard.

I  think the poster to that bug has the older pre-broadcom series of
this hardware, which would explain the similar ID to the mighty mouse.

Regards

Hi Bastien:

I've got one of these Aluminum BT keyboards, but it's MAC address is
quite different:

00:1B:63:FA:CD:5A Apple Wireless Keyboard

Where did you get your data from indicating that it shared the same
prefix as the mighty mouse?
    

Some of them would. See bug report at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466988

Pairing keyboards still doesn't work as expected, but I should get some
hardware soon to fix that.

Cheers
