[Bluez-users] bluetooth for network

[Peter K. Martin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 424 bytes --]

hello,
I'm using SuSE 9.1 and have installed and activated the bluetooth-function
of my notebook (Toshiba Satellite Pro M10). Now I want to use the
bluetooth-connection to an accesspoint - it is possible to establish this
connection - as a dummy-networkcard.
 
What is to do, so that the Linux-System accept the bluetooth-connection as a
network-connection?
 
Thanks in advance for the urgently needed help
Peter

you want to use the 'pand' tool of the bluez-utils package
see http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/ for howtos.
for example:
http://bluez.sourceforge.net/contrib/HOWTO-PAN
or
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/muhammad_al_ismail/bluetooth/

if you access point uses the PAN profile then you can use pand and then
configure the new bnep0 network interface like you did with eth0 before.

then you must use dund for PPP over RFCOMM.

use "dund --connect ..." and you get a ppp0 device with configured
Point-to-Point settings. Read the manual page and search Google for more
information.
