[Bug 793098] [NEW] Fails to pair with Wiimote (insists on presenting a PIN, which is impossible to enter)

[Paul Sladen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

Wiimote bluetooth devices are extremely common.  I have attempt to pair
and use one:

  1. Bluetooth→Setup new device…
  2. Press (1)+(2) on the Wiimote
  3. "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 | Joypad" appears in the list
  4. Click to select the item in the list
  5. Click [Forward]
  6. A box comes up saying "please enter 123456" (which is impossible)
  7. After 1-6 seconds the box is replaced: "Setting up 'Nintendo RVL-CNT-01' failed

What should happen; no generated number should be offered.  The correct
default PIN (whatever it is) should be used, based on a lookup table of
common devices.
