Fwiw, I agree that the Bluez documentation is poor in this area. But Bluetooth is quite complicated; it would be difficult to write good documentation. The D-Bus documentation of Bluez is poor for controlling PAN connections, which you are supposed to do now that pand is in bluez- compat,

I sent a debugging patch to bug #268502, which installs the bluetooth network protocol code from (Hardy's) 2.6.24 into a current Ubuntu kernel, which makes this problem go away. (The problem is not present in 2.6.24 - that kernel doesn't need any of the hcitool commands; pand is enough). I also
