I have an HP Mini 110 which had Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I eventually got this to tether to my iPhone so I could work on while on trains.
I am a fan of KDE and decided to upgrade to 11.10 Kubuntu and I have to say that, apart from my current problem, this has worked well.
My problem is that while I can successfully pair with my iPhone, the bluetooth applet (bluedevil, I guess) reports 'No supported services found'.
I have trawled the 'net and I have seen that others see services, including NAP, being reported. What I believe should happen is that when the iPhone is paired, the bluetooth stack should set up a Personal Area Network (PAN) which in turn sets up a bnep0 'wired' interface.
If I pair my phone and do:
sdptool browse [my phone's device id]
I see all the expected services reported including Network Access Point.
If I execute:
sudo pand --connect [my phone's device id]
my iPhone reports its tethered, but there is no bnep0 interface
I get a bnep0 interface up manually doing:
ifconfig bnep0 up
but it is raw and I can't connect to the net through it.
So I think I have proved all the parts work, the question is: what is and where is the config file that provides the missing link? I have read the NetworkManager manual carefully, tried to configure /etc/network/interfaces, NetworkManager.conf and a keyfile in system-connections.
Is there some kind person out there who can point me in the right direction?
