This one is harmless and unrelated.

>(sba=00:1E:4C:DB:BB:C1, dba=00:A0:96:2A:E7:5F)

I think you probably just need to officially pair the BC640 with Linux. This 
doesn't seem to be a reqruirement when the BC640 is used on its own so you 
probably haven't done that yet. It may be more strict when the feature pack is 
used, though, because of the fact that the device then also has a keyboard 
which can be used to control the system. Please, therefore, try pairing the 
BC640 and your system.

Please give me some examples of keys and codes. Perhaps we can add the 
necessary support to BRLTTY for this.
