2007-12-04 Thread Cy Schubert
Could anyone point me in the direction of documentation outlining how to 
setup a Bluetooth phone for wireless Internet access (when WiFi is 
unavailable). Thanks.

humility and fear by courage and selfishness by generosity
and rudeness by compassion and caring.

Depends on the protocol your phone uses to access the net. For PAN 
connectivity (which is the default Bluetooth way of Internet connectivity), 
FreeBSD currently doesn't ship with a daemon that implements the server-side 
of it.

I implemented a quick 'n dirty hack implementing the PAN protocol which works 
fine with my Sony Ericsson (M600i) mobile, but YMMV when getting that to 
run/work with different phones:

You'll have to get a mercurial client to check it out, and read the README 
contained in the archive to get it to run (requires tap support in the kernel 
and needs you to set up the bridging/routing to get the traffic from the tap 
device to your local network).

I'm using ppp over bluetooth with a Nokia N95. Works flawlessly.
A pretty good description is in the handbook.
