Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
When the rfcomm port get registered in blueman, network manager ignores the rfcomm port, because it thinks, that no bluetooth device is connected to it.
This is in lucid, package is network-manager 0.8.0ubuntu5-
Here's the output from syslog:
May 21 09:58:33 loke modem-manager: (rfcomm0) opening serial device...
May 21 09:58:33 loke blueman-mechanism: ** Registering modem

So the rfcomm device does never show up in network-manager. It used to in older versions of nm (pre 0.7.0, I think)
Establishing the connection using pon/poff is working perfectly over the rfcomm device.
Kind regards,
