if you don't use --presist the "pand --connect" process exit after the
full BNEP connection is established. Try "--nodetach" to see it.

If the BNEP connection is deleted you get a remove event from net.agent
hotplug script. If you have problems with DHCP put a bridge interface
above your bnep0 interface.

This ioctl gives the control of your incoming connection to the kernel
BNEP module, but I don't know why it can block.
