Rene, Erik,
Let me try to explain the situation:
Bluetooth Manager (noncore/net/opietooth/manager), accompanied by
noncore/net/opietooth/lib is the application that is a configuration
tool that allows you to edit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and
/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf with the proper GUI. It also allows you to
scan and discover BT devices.
Now the provided patch adds another configuration file:
/etc/sysconfig/bluetooth. My oppinion: if we have one more conf file, we
need to provide a tool that allows us, (not us, we know how to do this
-- a user) to configure it. This means that we need another dialog box
in the BT manager.
This is my idea.
Regards,

Dmitriy
