The original idea was that we weren't going to show/expose bluetooth devices in the UI that didn't have some NM config created for them. Partially to keep the menu and device list less cluttered by any random BT device you had paired with but weren't actually using for networking support. Since we can't scan for the devices, we don't actually know they are available to use, and thus we have to show them in the menu all the time. So showing every paired device that could do PAN or DUN in the menu irregardless of whether you wanted to use it for PAN or DUN seemed a bit wrong. But it's true that most people will have only a few BT devices anyway. Having actually implemented this now though, we probably don't need gnome-bluetooth for the PAN bits, you're right. We do, however, need gnome-bluetooth for the DUN bits so we run our mobile broadband wizard when you set up the PAN connection.

I still don't understand why gnome-bluetooth is involved in the PAN support for NM? To be honest NM could pick up paired devices that allow PAN connection directly without the round-trip via the UI. I must be missing something here since I don't get it. Regards Marcel ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Awesome, great to know! I just pushed the fix to the GUI bits that should fix your original problem. We got everything right in NM, but the gnome-bluetooth plugin wasn't checking the right capability bit.

Anyhow it works flawlesly for me with gnome-bluetooth 2.27.8, bluez 4.46 and current git versions of NM and nm-applet and iPhone 3G OS 3.0. Thanks for that - it makes my life a whole lot easier. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

The computer connecting to the phone would be the PANU. This patch is 100% correct. I would actually go that far to remove the PANU check. Since a PANU is not required to have a DHCP server running. It is suppose to use link local addresses. Regards Marcel ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

NAP means that the iPhone would access the Internet using your computer, not your computer accessing the internet through your iPhone... If the SDP record is wrong, then it needs to be fixed in bluez, or gnome-bluetooth, not worked around in NetworkManager.

gnome-bluetooth integration
Hi guys,
please consider this patch, which enables iPhone support in the
gnome-bluetooth plugin.
The iPhone reports a NAP service, instead of a PANU service, but it works -
after connecting
to that service through NetworkManager a connection is setup and
operational.
Regards,
Andrzej W-P.
