Bluetooth PAN

2017-02-13T01:23:24Z

77.7.171.177: /* Using PAN on older maemo5 pr3 */

This allows you to use your Maemo device to use [[Bluetooth]] PAN to connect via another device to another network such as the Internet.

The Connection manager is used for this purpose, exactly the same way as you connect to a WLAN network or to a cell phone dial-up connection ([[Bluetooth DUN]]). Most Windows Smartphones use this method of connection when used as a modem via Bluetooth.

If you have [[Nokia N900]] you may instead use it as PAN server to allow an other device such as a Nokia N8x0 to utilize Bluetooth PAN.

== Installing ==

For the [[Nokia N900]] pan is disabled by default.
To enable it, edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and remove ''network'' from the disabled plugins
[General]
# List of plugins that should not be loaded on bluetoothd startup
DisablePlugins = <s>network</s>,input,hal
''libicd-network-null'' is also recommended for using internet over bluetooth
apt-get install libicd-network-null

For other devices you need to install maemo-pan through the Application manager. You may need to restart your tablet after installation in order to force a dependency on maemo-pan (libicd-network-dummy package) being loaded.

Tap on the Connectivity 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 [https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3306 bug #3306] for details).

To 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!

==Sharing your connection over bluetooth [n900]==

Using udev to automatically setup internet connection sharing over bluetooth comes now.

A kernel with iptables support is needed,

[[Kernel Power]] is the recommended way to achieve this. see [[Kernel Power]] for installation details.

The default kernel with [[Community_SSU/Thumb|CSSU-thumb]] is also suitable.

Install the ''iptables'' package:

It is possible to use PAN to share Internet connections via PAN between two Nokia devices. However, on older devices it is recommended to use [[Bluetooth DUN]] (dial-up networking), since this is the normal method which smartphones use to share Internet access over Bluetooth.

Bluetooth PAN

2017-02-13T01:06:30Z

77.7.171.177: /* Sharing your connection over bluetooth [n900] */

This allows you to use your Maemo device to use [[Bluetooth]] PAN to connect via another device to another network such as the Internet.

The Connection manager is used for this purpose, exactly the same way as you connect to a WLAN network or to a cell phone dial-up connection ([[Bluetooth DUN]]). Most Windows Smartphones use this method of connection when used as a modem via Bluetooth.

If you have [[Nokia N900]] you may instead use it as PAN server to allow an other device such as a Nokia N8x0 to utilize Bluetooth PAN.

== Installing ==

For the [[Nokia N900]] pan is disabled by default.
To enable it, edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and remove ''network'' from the disabled plugins
[General]
# List of plugins that should not be loaded on bluetoothd startup
DisablePlugins = <s>network</s>,input,hal
''libicd-network-null'' is also recommended for using internet over bluetooth
apt-get install libicd-network-null

For other devices you need to install maemo-pan through the Application manager. You may need to restart your tablet after installation in order to force a dependency on maemo-pan (libicd-network-dummy package) being loaded.

Tap on the Connectivity 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 [https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3306 bug #3306] for details).

To 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!

==Sharing your connection over bluetooth [n900]==

Using [http://maemo.org/packages/view/genwall genwall] for internet connection sharing over bluetooth, follow:([http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1454885&postcount=62 Linux]/[http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1454885&postcount=63 Windows]).

Using udev to automatically setup internet connection sharing over bluetooth comes now.

A kernel with iptables support is needed,

[[Kernel Power]] is the recommended way to achieve this. see [[Kernel Power]] for installation details.

The default kernel with [[Community_SSU/Thumb|CSSU-thumb]] is also suitable.

Install the ''iptables'' package:
apt-get install iptables

create the following 2 files:

/etc/udev/rules.d/98-bnep0.rules:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="bnep0", RUN+="/etc/udev/bluenet.sh"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="bnep0", RUN+="/etc/udev/bluenet.sh"

/etc/udev/bluenet.sh:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

DNSMASQ_PID=`cat /var/run/dnsmasq.pid.bnep0`
rm -f /var/run/dnsmasq.pid.bnep0
kill $DNSMASQ_PID
