Bluetooth input hook for mkinitcpio

My harddisk has all partitions encrypted (dm-crypt/luks/cryptsetup) inside a lvm2 container, except /boot.  So it means that in the startup, when still in initramfs I need to enter my password.

As I've bought an Apple Aluminium Bluetooth keyboard I found annoying to have to type the password in the laptop keyboard instead of the bluetooth one. I did search all the web but I couldn't find anyone who has made a bluetooth keyboard to activate early in an initramfs. So with a little bit of try and error I did manage to make this "btinput" hook.

In order to make it work you need to have your bluetooth keyboard already configured and working, like it says in the wiki

Re: Bluetooth input hook for mkinitcpio

Hi,

your script doesn't seem to work anymore. Any ideas?
