Bluetooth Tethering Dun Assistance?

For your phone, you must enable internet connection sharing.

I'm searching real hard for this option on my nokia 3120c, but still I cannot find it. This is why I'm thinking that some java-app for the phone will be necessary for me. Or... does this option appear on the screen after connecting with bluetooth to pandora?

EDIT: because I don't have pandora yet, so I cannot test this myself

Well - I don't know your phone, but does it support internet connection sharing?
If it doesn't, you won't find an option there

Your phone does DUN. My friend has 3120c that he's online with whenever not at home, so i know. May work or not work with networkmanager, possible (easy for me) from the CLI.

EDIT: And yeah there is no place to enable/disable to modem feature AFAICS.

I'd be happy to test the kernel for you

Sounds promising. What commands do you use in the CLI ? Or a script.

Programs used (if you want to google) are rfcomm, pppd and chat. I'll add the cfg file contents here (that I use with my N6630, that I wrote from memory (eg. they're not the best possible examples, but do work)) when I get home from work. But in short you need 2 files in /etc/ppp/peers, one config and one connect chat. And you need /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf. Then you need to 1. enable bluetooth 2. pair your phone with the bluetooth applet 3. run a little script (that's run as root) and you'll be online, oh and you need to write proper nameserver line to /etc/resolv.conf, or symlink it to the one written by ppp or fix ip-up dns script (dunno, it doesnt do even what it's supposed to do (it seems by default it should write /var/resolv.conf, doesnt)). So yeah as you see it's not the most userfriendly way, but I've had a need to do it internetless on a linux with the bare minimals a few times (and no internet when setting up at friends place), so thats the way I remembered well. Now that it's setup, its just a single command (shown in a terminal) (that I have an icon for in the XFCE panel) to get and stay online.

If you'd like testers I'd also be willing to test.

has anyone tried it with a sony ericsson celhpone?

any idea why ed's windows mobile phone would work but a se phone wouldnt?
I've gotten to try the patched kernel, no luck still.

manually doing pand -c mobilemac -n
gives
Could not connect: Connection refused (111)

Note it works fine on a laptop/pc, and tmy phone is set to allow pandoras connection always.

so.. what about those cfg files?

Sorry for that I forgot.
/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf:

#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#

rfcomm0 {

	# Automatically bind the device at startup
	bind yes;

	# Bluetooth address of the device
	device 00:17:4B:DB:60:XX;

	# RFCOMM channel for the connection
	channel	1;

	# Description of the connection
#	comment "Example Bluetooth device";
}

Umm, so i think i only changed the address (and i hid my extract bt address as an afterthought).

/etc/ppp/peers/gprs:

nodetach
defaultroute
nocrtscts
lock
noauth
lcp-echo-interval 0
lcp-echo-failure 0
usepeerdns
460800
local
/dev/rfcomm0
connect 'chat -f /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-chat'

I think i copied the "host" named file in there and edited a lot.
/etc/ppp/peers/gprs-chat:

'	'ATZ'
'OK'	'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.saunalahti"'
'OK'	'ATD*99#'
'CONNECT'	'

"internet.saunalahti" is my APN name, change that. This is a very sucky chat script, no error checking.

whatever-you-name-this-script

#!/bin/sh
mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
killall pppd
rfcomm release 0
rfcomm bind 0
while true; do
pppd call gprs
done

That's very brute force style too, don't C+C it, close the terminal instead (or dont include that forever loop (atleast at first)).

 

[cosurgi]

thanks a lot. This looks very promising and concrete. I will have a point to start from, with my nokia 3120c, when I get my andora2ut4:

 

[daffy]

I can't get that to work. I have a Centro on Sprint using USBModem, if anyone has gotten anything like that to work. Anyhow.

Does anyone know if we're going to see ED's magic "easy" way any time soon? Tomorrow would be really nice...
