Monitoring BT traffic

Hi,

I want to monitor realtime BlueTooth data to/from a Wiimote controller as it's being used to play a game on Nintendo's Wii. (apologies if this is off-topic for this mailing list - if I get no replies I'll try elsewhere)

There are a couple of possible ways I can imagine of doing this:

Set up Linux PC as a bridge between 2 BlueTooth devices (a Wii and a Wiimote).
Connect the Wiimote and Ubuntu so that motion data from the Wiimote is received by the PC (and saved for later analysis). Also establish a connection between the PC and the Wii, and forward all data between the Wiimote and the Wii.
This might cause additional lag, and I'm not even sure if this is technically feasible.

Multiple connect.
Have the PC and the Wii simultaneously connect to the same Wiimote. Am I right in thinking this is not even possible with BlueTooth?

Passive monitoring.
Is there any way to monitor BT traffic between a directly connected Wiimote and Wii? I've heard of BlueTooth sniffers which are apparently rather expensive. How easy would it be to interrogate this data and interpret it as Wii motion data?

Are there any applications that'll do this, and if not then how complex does this task sound to build using any available libraries (is Bluez even where I should be looking?)

I'm a C++ / Python programmer but don't know where to find the appropriate Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) source and BlueTooth specs. Any help or suggestions much appreciated!

Cheers,
Gareth
