You can’t. The Wii’s bluetooth transmitter/receiver was specifically designed for wiimote pairing codes (not public knowledge). However, if you really want keyboard support, the latest Opera Browser update has included USB keyboard support for the Wii. Logitech has also announced that they will be releasing a USB keyboard specifically designed for the Wii (most likely a white classic 200 pfft). There have been some mumurings that Nintendo will be releasing a Bluetooth keyboard of their own for the Wii, seeing as how the little white console has become on of the most popular ways to browse the Internet from a living room couch. There are several ways to free yourself from the USB leash though. All of them require a USB dongle. The first (and most inexpensive) is to run out and get yourself a wireless RF keyboard. The support is limited, but you can find yourself a RF keyboard and dongle if you try. The other is to try a USB Bluetooth dongle. They’re about 30-100 bucks depending on which brand you choose, and that should get you going for a Bluetooth keyboard (and mouse, if you’re tired of waving the wiimote around). Your best bet is an Apple wireless keyboard.
