This really needs to be changed--it is not at all usesr friendly right now.

As it is, it appears to the user that the Dell™ Desktop Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Bundle simply quits working after Ubuntu is installed and booted up. The user is not alerted to the fact that the keyboard/mouse receiver has been reconfigured to HCI mode and that the keyboard & mouse must be paired to the system for them to work. Most users are probably not even aware of the difference between HID and HCI modes, and just want their keyboard/mouse to work without configuration.

Either the wireless keyboard/mouse receiver should not be automatically put into HCI mode, or the user should be alerted of this fact and told how to pair their keyboard/mouse to the system so that they will continue to work.
