Thanks for these instructions. But the problem is that i want to pair the freerunner with my tablet where i have no access to a console. So i do need a script or program which could pair with standard bluetooth devices. I could also install debian or qtmoko on the freerunner if they are more suited for this task. So is there any other way of pairing with other devices? :) Ciao, Rainer _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
