Running the pioneer controlled by wii-mote

For a long time I was stuck at the wii-remote to pioneer interface problem. The drivers are correctly installed for ROS. but the wii-mote is connected to the laptop via blue-tooth connection. The builtin bluetooth adapter was not detected on the ASUS laptop. It is running on Ubuntu 10.04. This is why I don't like linux. You spent a lot of time for nothing. Finally I bought a new bluetooth adaptor: Rocketfish. Now the wii-mote is identified by the OS via bluetooth.
While executing the script to pairup the wii-mote from ROS this is what I got:
rosrun wiimote wiimote_node.py
Press buttons 1 and 2 together to pair (within 6 seconds).
    (If no blinking lights, press power button for ~3 seconds.)
No Bluetooth interface found
[FATAL] [WallTime: 1349723838.941557] No Wiimote found to pair with.
[INFO] [WallTime: 1349723838.941719] Exiting Wiimote node.
