[ale] wireless keyboard

[James Taylor]

Strangely enough, when I was running linux on my macbook, the bluetooth mouse worked fine throughout the installation, but wouldn't work with the installed system. 
I ran out of time to troubleshoot it, and I used a usb mouse instead.

I'm trying to get an apple wireless keyboard to work with my macbook pro 
under linux.  I've found a number of references to making this work, but 
no joy.  It seems that my bluetooth device is not set to scan for 
devices as I have this:

hci0:   Type: USB
         BD Address: 00:1E:C2:93:BC:D6 ACL MTU: 1021:5 SCO MTU: 64:1
         UP RUNNING
         RX bytes:521 acl:0 sco:0 events:70 errors:0
         TX bytes:2280 acl:0 sco:0 commands:70 errors:0

Whereas, all the references show the following:

         UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN

If I try to enable scans I get this:

/usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 piscan
Can't set scan mode on hci0: Device or resource busy (16)


I know this is kinda unique to this hardware, but any suggestions would 
be greatly appreciated.
