I have two boxes running 8.10 and bluez installed. There seems to exist no possibility to connect one to the other via a Bluetooth PAN connection. On Ubuntu 8.04 this could be done via running pand on one side in role NAP (network access point) and connecting from the other side with "pand -c <btaddr>". This does not work anymore even if package bluez-compat (containing pand) is installed. With bluez-compat not installed I can bring up the interface pan0 on each side via ifconfig. Of course packages send via this interface get lost because there exists no connection between those two interfaces and I don't know how to bring up one. How is this supposed to work now? When scanning for the other side via "hcitool scan" it is found correctly. Even pairing via the Gnome Buetooth Applet works fine. Scanning SDP of the remote side works fine, too! PAN services are discovered successfully on each side: Service Name: BlueZ NAP service Service Description: BlueZ PAN service Service RecHandle: 0x10006 Service Class ID List: "Network Access Point" (0x1116) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) PSM: 15 "BNEP" (0x000f) Version: 0x0100 SEQ16: 800 806 Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100 Profile Descriptor List: "Network Access Point" (0x1116) Version: 0x0100 I am happy to provide further information.
