I use this (Palm T3).  It's a bit of a hack, and relies on proxyarp, 
which means it doesn't work if your computer is using a second PPP link 
itself for networking (or OpenVPN). NAT would be cleaner.  It also 
(enormous hack) guesses an IP address for the Palm by XORing the 
machine's own IP by 0.0.0.64.

#!/bin/sh
: ${rfdevice:=rfcomm0}
iface=`netstat -rn|sed -n -e 's/^0\.0\.0\.0 .* 
\([a-z][a-z]*[0-9][0-9]*\)$/\1/p'`
set -- x `ifconfig $iface | sed -n -e 's/^ *inet 
addr:\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\)\.\([0-9][0-9]*\) .*$/\1 
\2/p'`
localIP="${2}.${3}"
bluetoothIP="${2}.$((${3}^64))"
dns=`sed -n -e 's/^nameserver  *\([0-9][0-9.]*\)[^0-9]*$/ms-dns \1/p' < 
/etc/resolv.conf`
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

It does seem like an omission.
