Yes, Bluetooth device might be just floating around without being used and the binding should be done only when necessary. > That should be pretty well to bind profiles to serial device you may > have two phones with different operators, > both GSM, also you may only change your SIM-card. The way I see it is that Bluetooth devices are identified only using BT MAC. If user has multiple SIMs he must have a configuration for every different operator and choose the appropriate configuration for the SIM that is in the phone. -- Antti > vitja. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
