Bluetooth network application asks for root password every bootup

Hi,

since i am not sure what causes this, i want to create this topic, because i am unable to track this down myself.
I have two notebooks with a bluetooth adapter. Since one of the last few daily pacman updates the bluetooth module wants to enable network functionality for itself, and this causes a dialog box asking for my root password to pop up after every boot. At first i was a little wary, since i usually don't give my root password to some random popups, but after the second notebook getting these popups as well, i think this is a legit question.

However, i rarely use bluetooth networking, and these popups annoy me. Is there an ability to store the password somehow, or to disable bluetooth network functionality at all, so my startup process isn't blocked by a popup for a feature i rarely use? I usually use NetworkManager for my network connectivity stuff.

So if anyone has an idea what recent update caused this popup, and where i can manage this, i would be very happy.
