    Hi there,

    I have a cheap little USB Bluetooth dongle which works great,
    unfortunately I only have one, so I tend to unplug it and bring it with
    me, so I can use it with different computers. Obviously, when the
    dongle isn't present, there's no point running the "bluetooth" service,
    and when I plug it in, kbluetoothd (from the KDE Bluetooth project)
    detects the dongle pretty much instantly, but then complains that the
    SDP service isn't running. Is there any way I could add triggers to the
    hotplug service for my dongle that would start
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/bluetooth when it's inserted, and stop it when it's
    removed?

    Thanks!
