[Gutsy] pand connect fails

[John Eckman]

Binary package hint: bluez-utils

Laptop as client using mobile phone internet connection over bluetooth through USB dongle.

Used to work under Fiesty, not longer works under Gutsy (never did, for me).

Not certain if this is a bluez-utils bug - appreciate any help anyone can offer in troubleshooting/debugging.

Laptop is Dell Latitude D810, Kubuntu Gutsy.
USB Dongle is an IOGear model GBU221

lsusb:
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp.

hcitool dev:
        hci0 00:02:72:02:21:E1

hcitool scan:
        00:18:AF:A2:30:B5 eckman-blackjack

(which is the phone I'm trying to connect to)

I think the key part of /var/log/syslog is here, following after issuing the sudo pand -c [bt address] command:

I don't know what the hci0 ACL packet for unknown connection handle is, or why NetworkManager shows a new device being added and then removed.

And here's the output of hcidump when I issue the command:

Pand is no longer supported as a method to create pan connections starting on the 4.x stack.

Same on Jaunty. What are we supposed to use instead?
