I can't get this thing to work... I got through all the steps, except manual re-mapping, but the gamepad doesn't want to pair with the N900.

What I do and what I see :
- I run sixpair with the BT address of my N900 ( ./sixpair EC:9B:... )
- Current Bluetooth master: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Setting master bd_addr to ec:9b:...
- I turn on the BT on my N900, visible : yes, device's name : Nokia N900
- bluetooth icon appears (white)
- I press PS button of the gamepad after unplugging it, and I wait to see what happens :
- 4 gamepad leds begin to flash, 5 seconds later BT icon turns blue, 25 seconds later the 4 leds stop blinking and are all off, 20 seconds later the BT icon turns white.


Interesting thing (or not ?) :
when I run sixpair more than once without unplugging the gamepad, it shows "Current Bluetooth master: ec:9b:..." after the 1st time, but if I just unplug the gamepad after pairing and replug it, when I run sixpair again it is back to "Current Bluetooth master: 00:00:00:00:00:00"

any idea ? Is it my gamepad which is broken (doesn't seem to keep a "bluetooth master" when unplugged), or is it something I missed ?

PS : my DisablePlugins line in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf looks like that :
DisablePlugins = network,input,hal
did you plug the ds3 controller in to the pc and change the bluetooth address to your phone's? if the controller conects to phone the led's will stop flashing and one will stay on.
