Hi Antonio,

You asked me for this a while ago, sorry it took so long.  I ran some
tests and put the log files here:
  http://ps3.jim.sh/sixaxis/dumps/

There are comments in the file:

I also did some quick captures of pairing the keypad (CECHZK1UC) and
original headset (CECHYA-0075).  They are being paired with 00:13:a9:74:fe:57.
