[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] regarding the gwconnect api once more

[From: kurt ak]

Thanks for the reply... So, the service needs to be started just to see if it's 
available??  And as far as using gwconnect in scratchbox, I wasn't sure if it 
used the hciX device or not if there was one up and running.

Best,
kurt
