Ken Sanislo 556c83d0a4 Probe device_addr one at a time instead of blasting all 256
Write one candidate, read briefly (20ms), move to next. Stops on first
hit. Avoids overwhelming the dongle's RX buffer with 256 back-to-back
frames where the response could get lost.

Worst case (addr=0xFF): 256 × 20ms ≈ 5s.
Typical G522 (addr=0x23): 36 × 20ms ≈ 0.7s.

Solaar

Solaar is a Linux manager for many Logitech keyboards, mice, and other devices that connect wirelessly to a Unifying, Bolt, Lightspeed or Nano receiver as well as many Logitech devices that connect via a USB cable or Bluetooth. Solaar is not a device driver and responds only to special messages from devices that are otherwise ignored by the Linux input system.
