After experimenting I got bridge + DHCP working, it's not automatic but 
that does not matter now anyway, cause I had to change it back.

If remote device disconnects, the bnepX interface is not fully unregistered:

[/var/log/messages]:

kernel: pan0: port 1(bnep0) entering disabled state
net.agent[12626]: remove event not handled
kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for bnep0 to become free. Usage 
count = 1

The last message is repeated at regular intervals.

`brctl show` shows bnep0 in pan0 bridge interface

`brctl delif pan0 bnep0` results in "interface bnep0 does not exist!"

`ifconfig` or `ifdown bnep0` freeze up

I can't even turn of the computer regulary, I have to hard reset it.

Is this a bug?
