Internet Sharing via Bluetooth PAN with WM 6.1 Pro (Omnia) & Ubuntu
Thanks God at last …. i finally can get connected to internet through my OMNIA … Maybe its a starting for Me to improve n fullfill my dream/goals for this 2009 year ..
1) U do need all the neccessary packages :
sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez bluez-compat bluez-utils gnome-bluetooth
2) Turn on the Bluetooth of Pocket PC and find the Pocket PC from the Ubuntu Laptop by issuing : (make sure u already turn on ya bluetooth and make it visible)
hcitool scan
Then, you will see the following (the address is different from yours) :
Scanning …
00:0E:07:37:7C:BD YourMobileDeviceName
Edit your /etc/default/bluetooth :
# Defaults for bluez
# start bluetooth on boot?
# compatibility note: If this variable is not found bluetooth will
# start
BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=1# This setting will switch HID devices (e.g mouse/keyboad) to HCI mode, that is
# you will have bluetooth functionality from your dongle instead of only HID.
# Note that not every bluetooth dongle is capable of switching back to HID
# mode, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=355497
HID2HCI_ENABLED=1
HID2HCI_UNDO=1#PAND_ENABLED=0
PAND_ENABLED=1#PAND_OPTIONS=”"
PAND_OPTIONS=”–listen –role=NAP –devup /etc/bluetooth/pan/dev-up”
then save it.
3) Pairing your MobileDevice and your laptop@PC
4) Append the following lines to “/etc/network/interfaces� :
sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces
add below to the file,
auto bnep0
iface bnep0 inet dhcp
then save it.
Write this script where ever u want: example , omnia.sh
#!/bin/bash
sudo modprobe bnep
sudo pand –listen -c 00:21:D2:64:DB:FE –role=NAP -n –persist
sudo ifconfig bnep0
sudo ifup bnep0
* Change the mac address according to your mac address
chmod +x omnia.sh
Then execute it, ./omnia.sh
Pocket PC ( Windows Mobile )
1) Open the Internet Sharing Connection (ICS)
2) PC Connection: Bluetooth PAN
3) Network Connection: DiGi Internet (change it with your ISP 3G provider)
When u see,
Status : Connected
Its mean u already get connected to internet via ICS … try ping anywhere to test your connection … Gud Luck !!!

The instructs are to the dot!! Make sure you do not copy-paste from this web page. “–” gets converted to “–”.
I used this instructions on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty.

Ok problem solved.
Had to ifdown and ifup the bnet0 interface so the /etc/resolv.conf got the new entry 192.168.0.1
Ps: Firefox doesnt get it (offline mode, blah), but when i use konqueror it just works fine

Bac,
yeah .. for firefox u need to untick at the offline mode first. then u may start browsing with firefox

AMIR,
if u r using USB, just plugin your USB cable to your OMNIA and desktop/laptop … then choose from the ICS to use your USB ..

Many thanks,
I too am writing this on an EeePC901 running Eeebuntu 3.0 but connected to my wife’s Macbook which is using mobile broadband.
Wanted this working before we went on holiday so we wouldn’t fight over the dongle.

I get that Ford is pushing the Mustang, but wouldn’t times against other cars in it’s class have been better? If the Impreza is pulling a sub 10 minute rally, then the Mustang is NOT a good rally car. All this video proves is that a rear wheel drive Ford can rally, but the Escort proved that in the WRC 20 years ago…

For centuries mankind has heard of the wonder of living environment on earth, an event that will raise living standards began to wrap. Effort to understand the events that appear to be ordinary, in fact the world is a place full of mystery and has led them to realize the need to resolve. Only to understand and feel the need to solve the traditional science, although science phase of the split type is not only to solve the solution includes more than just progress. Science in retrospect some of the most important numbers math, geometry, sky science and medicine is. Mathematical analysis of a wide range of systems developed since the first times I was still new formulas, systems, theories of science are being developed so that continuity is an example.
