Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
So, it seems that the CECT P168+ GSM cell phone, also known as the iPhone clone, is not detected via Bluetooth in Network Manager 0.7. This phone only uses Bluetooth for providing this connection, so the USB cable option that works for many, is impossible with this phone. Managed to get connectivity using WVDial, but it was extremely complicated to do so. I have included the outputs from the terminal, so I do hope this helps. As far as getting a device ID, I do not know how to do it. I have tried everything. If anybody can walk me through how to do it, I can drop the device ID here as well. Microsoft XP and Vista are able to use the phones GPRS for internet access without any issue at all.
TXT included.
