Re: [Bluez-users] creating the bnep0 device

[Anderson Rodrigues <rodrigues.anderson@gmail.com>]

Hi Jonathan,


As Marcel has menssioned you should connect the devices using PAND
first. When the connection is ok the bnep0 is created automatically by
PAND. Ex:

GN side

pand --listen --role GN

PANU side:
pand --connect <bdaddr> --role PANU

If everything got OK you can apply an IP address at both sides

GN side:
#ifconfig bnep0 10.0.0.1

PANU side:
#ifconfig bnep0 10.0.0.2

so you can try ping one of these addresses 

hope it helps.

all the best
