Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

I paired my phone (iPhone 3G) with my Karmic laptop using the GNOME Bluetooth "Setup new device" menu item, which worked fantastically well, offered me an option to use the phone for Internet access and thus put an item in Network Manager's applet, which works.

The naming of the entry in nm-applet is a little confusing though. See the attached screenshot (the phone's name is "cmsj").

[09:50] < asac> menu should probably me more like:
[09:50] < asac> "Bluetooth Networks"
[09:50] < asac> - cmsj (PANU)
[09:50] < asac> - cmsj2 (DUN)

Hi JohnnyRingo,

I understand you write that you mean the entry "PANU".

The numbers before the name are the MAC-address of you device.
But I do not understand why it is mapped depicted.

Best wishes

I was trying to verify with my computer. Is this still an issue in precise or later?

I'm afraid I no longer have any of the hardware involved here, so I'd say let's ditch the bug.
