This allows you to connect to Bluetooth PAN via the connection manager exactly the same way as you connect to a WLAN network or to a cell phone dial-up connection (DUN). Most Windows Smartphones use this method of connection when used as a modem via Bluetooth.
Prerequisites
- maemo-pan
- In Diablo, libicd-network-dummy (installed automatically as a dependency along with maemo-pan)
Installing
Install maemo-pan through the Application manager. This will force the installation of libicd-network-dummy as it is listed as a dependency for maemo-pan. You may need to restart your tablet after installation for the libicd-network-dummy package to be loaded.
After restarting, tap on the wifi icon in your status bar and either "Select a connection" or "Change connection" to see a list of available network access points. You should see one called "Dummy Network" (this name will likely change in future versions of maemo-pan, see bug #3306 for details).
To actually connect to the internet through this connection you must make sure the "Internet Connection Sharing" application is running on your phone and has a connection. Select the "Dummy Network" from the tablet network list and enjoy anywhere internet!
