I am trying to share my network connection with a laptop through bluetooth.
the laptop is an asus eee pc 1000h and runs debian testing (squeeze) with the bluez package from unstable:
Code:
deeebian: ~
$ dpkg -l blue* |grep ^i
ii bluetooth 4.40-2 Bluetooth support
ii bluez 4.40-2 Bluetooth tools and daemons
ii bluez-alsa 4.40-2 Bluetooth audio support
ii bluez-cups 4.40-2 Bluetooth printer driver for CUPS
ii bluez-gstreamer 4.40-2 Bluetooth GStreamer support
the desktop (PAN access point) is a gentoo 2008 machine with:
Code:
raptor: /etc/bluetooth
$ equery l blue
[I--] [ ~] net-wireless/bluez-4.39 (0)
/etc/init.d/bluetoothd start on either of the machines, neither detects (hcitool scan) nor l2pings the other one. they are able to detect and ping my neighbours cell phone, however.
Code:
raptor: ~
$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:21:09:94:2C:B8 Nokia frode
$ l2ping 00:21:09:94:2C:B8
Ping: 00:21:09:94:2C:B8 from 00:10:60:D0:25:E9 (data size 44) ...

0 bytes from 00:21:09:94:2C:B8 id 2 time 33.48ms
after enabling page and inquiry scan on the hci0 for the machine i am trying to l2ping i get the following:
Code:
$ /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

in other words, they are seeing each other. They both appear to have a working pan0 interface, which to my understanding is what should give me network.

I have failed to find any decent info on bluez 4.x on the net, I other words i dont know what to put im my /etc/bluetooth/master.conf and /etc/bluetooth/network.conf. here is what i have on raptor (the PAN access point):
Code:
