This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report against it and we will take it from there.

After I grant permission the first time, pand says bnep0 connected, but dhclient fails to obtain an address. After a few seconds the second request for permission on the mobile phone screen times out and the interface ceases to exist (dhclient reports "no such device"). If I grant the second request the device disappears immediately. If I tell the phone to always allow connections without asking, pand reports "connection refused" right away. The same happens if I try to use the new (dbus only) way of creating a network connection (I did so via some python script I found on the net). This is really quite annoying, because it worked fine for quite a long time and was a great way to get online without the dial-up emulation crap. I'm not sure when it broke though, as I haven't needed it for about a year. This is on up to date intrepid btw.
