[Bluez-users] Re: creating the bnep0 device

[Jonathan Bredin <jbredin@coloradocollege.edu>]

Thanks, Marcel.  I tried using the connect option with the same result, except that I get a few new messages in the log.

I made sure that pand was dead, restarted the bluetooth services, plugged in the adaptor, started pand with the connect and tried to bring up bnep0 with ifup and ifconfig....  

/var/log/messages:
Mar 28 12:53:57 ma-jbredin hcid[11737]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

Any more thoughts?
