I disagree Robie. The problem relates to the fact that the bluetooth GUI
tool requires a PIN. Earlier in this thread, it was about that people
couldn't choose a PIN, or use the standard 0000, 1234, 1111, etc. Then
that was solved, but now there are devices such as my mouse that require
NO PIN at all. The GUI doesn't allow for this case. It FORCES you to
choose a PIN. As a user, I should NEVER have to drop to a command line
and execute some cryptic commands or muck with "auth encrypt" or
whatever that is. The GUI tool just needs to be smarter (or in this
case, dumber) and let me enter NO PIN. In fact, it could even be another
radio button like so:

( ) 0000
( ) 1111
( ) 1234
( ) custom PIN [_____]
( ) no pin required
