Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth
Karmic alpha 4
I have a windows mobile 6.1 PDA/phone, and whilst pairing / browsing / sending files works smoothly, I am unable to use the 'Internet Sharing' feature which exposes a PAN service (works perfectly on Windows + Mac without prior configuration).
I was expecting this:

But nothing - no device appeared in the drop-down menu, and trying to configure 'Mobile Broadband' was extremely confusing.. select country / carrier and then be presented with completely irrelevant options about 'phone number' / ppp options.
Can someone explain why this didn't work?
The improvements with pulseaudio / A2DP headsets are /superb/ - PAN support would round off Bluetooth support for me!
Changed in network-manager (Ubuntu): | |
importance: | Undecided → Low |
Just for reference, I'm able to make PAN work just by doing this:
# sudo apt-get install bluez-compat
# sudo pand --list -c AD:DR:ES:SO:FP:DA --role=NAP -n -persist
# sudo dhclient bnep0
.. going the extra mile for full clicky integration is surely possible and worthwhile!
