I'm not sure if all these problems have the same root cause, but I'm also unable to use my Nokia N900 as a bluetooth modem after a recent upgrade (it used to work around october 2013 or so). It works fine if I do it via USB, there's a "Mobile Broadband" entry in the NM dialog which I can use to set up the connection.
If I go to the bluetooth settings dialog, choose my phone and click on "Access the internet using your mobile phone (DUN)" it tries to detect the phone configuration, but after a while it gives up with "Error: timed out detecting phone details". I have the following packages installed: mobile-broadband-provider-info 20130915-1 network-manager 0.9.8.0-5 network-manager-gnome 0.9.8.4-1 modemmanager 0.5.2.0-2.1 bluez 4.101-4 gnome-bluetooth 3.8.1-2 I can however make it work without network manager like this: # rfcomm connect rfcomm0 Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX on channel 1 Press CTRL-C for hangup and then launch wvdial or gnome-ppp. Berto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
