Every time you connect, a file is created in the same folder under
/var/lib/bluetoot, called linkkeys. 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.

Thanks

Lars
