If I connect to the Braille Star first from Linux, and after that from Windows, I need to delete the linkkeys file prior to be able to reconnect from Linux the next time. This can be done automatically within Linux, so that's not a big problem. The Windows system, however, requires that I do the pairing process again if I last connected from Linux, and that's a big problem. Do any of you know a way to: Either - Pair automatically in Windows or - Get the bluetooth adapter to forget about that it previously was connected on another system.
