okokok, let's go:

1) make sure bluez is installed on your comp (mine is debian)
FR-PORT:/# dpkg -al | grep bluez
ii  bluez-gnome                          0.13-1 
   ii  bluez-utils                          3.22-2 


2) make sure your bt system is on
FR-PORT:/# hciconfig -a
hci0:   Type: USB

3) get your bluetooth headset ready for pairing.
you might push some special button to make it blinking or something 
(well, refer to your headset manual)

4) pick up the mac adress of your headset
FR-PORT:/# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
 > 11:22:33:44:55:66

5) connect with your headset
FR-PORT:/# hcitool cc 11:22:33:44:55:66

ok, that's it.

Btw, i use kbluetoothd and everything goes ok in pairing without any 
command line.

Hope it helps,

Happy new year ;)

regards,

f.
