OpenSUSE :: Bluetooth Tethering On KDE 4.7?
Aug 4, 2011
The KDE 4.7 announcment states:
The Plasma Workspaces now also offer much improved network management, including experimental support for NetworkManager 0.9 as well as Bluetooth tethering, 3G, VPN, MAC spoofing and other advanced networking options.
However, I don't see any options for Bluetooth tethering in the bluedevil or network manager applets. So, could someone explain how to do bluetooth tethering in KDE 4.7.
I am running OpenSUSE 11.4, KDE 4.7, plasmoid-networkmanagment 0.9.svn1192577-7.2 and bluedevil 1.0.2-3.8.1.

So I can't get the bluetooth tethering to work still! I have been trying for about 2 weeks. The phone pairs, in blueman I set the phone as a trusted device and click network access point. It then flashes up on the iPhone tethered with the blue banner. Blueman says it is connected. But no net access. Network connections shows no new connections either. Weird, I thought it would appear in there. Is there anything I can do to force it to add the bluetooth link as a network connection?

I have a samsung messager touch R631 with 3G capability and I am trying to connect my laptop to the internet through it via bluetooth. Everything worked when I had the MAC OSx on my laptop, and after I switched to ubuntu 10.04LTS (32 bit) I cannot get it to work again. I did some searching and checked a few things out, but Everything I've tried with the BlueZ isn't working. It shows I'm connected, but it just doesn't work...is there any way to get it to work or another program or something I need? these are the 2 pages I refferenced...[url] [url]

I have both Jaunty and Windows XP installed on my laptop (dual boot), and I have successfully tethered (via Bluetooth) my cellphone in Windows, but can't get tethering to work in Jaunty.
In Windows, when I paired my phone with my laptop using Bluetooth, Windows assigned two COM ports for Bluetooth to use. Then I configured dial-up networking, and all I had to specify was the dial string (*99**1*1#). Windows treats my cellphone as if it were a modem connected via a serial port. Works great.
When I pair my phone to the laptop when running Jaunty, I don't ever see serial ports getting configured as I do in Windows. And I've read that when the Bluetooth pairing takes place in Ubuntu, the networking wizard should start, but it does not. So, I go into network connections and create a new connection under the MOBILE BROADBAND tab (I check "connect automatically"). When I'm finished creating the connection, it says "never" to the right of the connection name, but I'm not sure what that is indicating. When I left-click the network manager icon on my desktop, it does not show any connections from which I can choose. I have no Internet connectivity.
I have proved that the Bluetooth link between Jaunty and my cellphone IS working. I have been successful sending files from my phone to Jaunty, using Bluetooth.
Am I going about setting up tethering incorrectly ?

i have a bluetooth modem (BlueSMiRF) that is connected to Arduino Duemilanove. I am trying to see serial communication messages from the bluetooth modem.
I have Blueman Device Manager that enabled SPP (Serial Port) and it says :
Code:
Serial port connected to /dev/rfcomm0
How do I see the serial communication on this?
I tried on console
Code:
$rfcomm listen 0
but it's stuck at
Code:
Waiting for connection on Channel 1
Is there any other way to listen (and also send) to serial comm msgs on bluetooth?

The bluetooth manager does not detect a bluetooth dongle .trying to use ndiswrapper to fix.I installed device manager and the results are shown below.i downloaded the windows driver suite. It has 4 .exe self extracting driver archives and a setupconfig.ini. The .ini file is below.I was able to extract one of the 32bit archives on a windows machine and it had about 8 .inf files that are titled weird and would not install properly using ndiswrapper probably because im using the 64-bit architecture. there are 2 64bit .exe's in the driver download, but how can i extract them in ubuntu and do i really need to install all 8 .inf files. also do i actually need to make a .inf file? if so how?
Asus - BT211 mini bluetooth dongle

I am running ubuntu 10.10 and supplying my internet connection with EasyTether on my Motorola Droid 2. I've got my laptop internet working great, but I've tried to follow a couple connection sharing guides and they don't seem to work with my PS3. So the setup is that EasyTether provides the internet connection and an ethernet cable connects the laptop and ps3. I have even tried using FireStarter, but it says eth0 (the connection between laptop and ps3) is not ready.
So here's the question: What should I do to allow my ps3 to access the internet? I've tried manual and automatic settings on my ps3 and neither worked. I believe the problem is with my laptop's settings.
Here's what happens when I do a connection test on my PS3 (automatic config)
Obatain IP Address - Failed
And when I do it manually
Obtain IP Address - Succeeded
Internet Connection - Failed

how to use tethering with an AT&T iphone on Debian? I personally have not tried much as I usually have a wireless connection where ever I go. Also I take my Windows XP netbook with me when I go out to service someones PC. If I am at home I use my Desktop mainly.

I've just got a nice HTC Desire (ie almost the same model as the Nexus One), and it can work as a modem for accessing the internet. After googling this, I've found out that on debian it works straight without adding any package, just as the pjone is connected. This is not the case on slackware 13... Has anyone got this to work already?

I can get my system to use the iPhone to tether up, but I don't know how to make Network Manager to do this for me within the GUI somehow. This does work on my eeePC netbook using Ubuntu UNR 10.10. Here is where I think the problem lies. The system sees the phone but doesn't create an ethernet device for it (on either system).
But a:
ifconfig wwan0 up
dhclient wwan0 will make the connection.
On Ubuntu there is a file (/etc/networks) that one can plug some info into, and when once connects the iPhone up to it, it will automatically connect. The data is:
auto wwan0
iface wwan0 inet dhcp.
How would I either make NM work, or accomplish the long way in Fedora, as I could in Ubuntu?

I was wondering what is the status of tethering for 10.4 with a 3gs iphone using os 4.0? I know about jail breaking and pdanet, but i want to avoid that path.

I just got an iPhone 4 and cannot get wired usb tethering to work. I had the same problem with my old phone, but I was able to wifi tether it without jailbreaking and don't want to have to jailbreak to tether (I don't mind if it is connected via cable, in fact I prefer it).
In both cases, though gnome network manager connects to the phone, and though the phone shows a current tethering connection, the ubuntu system (10.04 Lucid) is not able to load any web pages, despite showing a wired connection, and despite the fact that connection information on this wired connection seems complete (even with an ip address from the iphone and as it did with my old phone). It seems as if there is likely some simple setting that prevents me from using a usb source, though that is a guess.

I searched the forum but could not find anything to solve my problem. I installed Ubuntu via Wubi.exe from windows first time, before deciding to completely format and start with a Linux Ubuntu clean install (64-bit). When I installed it with Wubi.exe, I simply plugged in my Wave and it connected to the internet...no fuss!
Problem is, after clean installing Ubuntu, the same does not happen. I cant connect to mobile broadband. It is worth mentioning that this is my only internet connection available (mobile broadband) and I am thus unable to update, get necessary repositories from Linux etc.
I read something about usb_modeswitch being involved, manually did that, but I still cannot connect to the mobile broadband. Mobile broadband is enabled when I right-click the connections too. I set up the connection for CellC, removed the "Cellcis" username, added it and more, but it still does not connect.
Can anybody give me some pointer on how to go about fixing this connection, because as you can imagine, my Linux install is pretty useless without internet.

Bluetooth was working in KDE 4.1 in openSUSE 11.0 with no problems. I install openSUSE 11.1 and now the bluetooth icon that should show up in the system tray no longer shows up. If I hit Ctrl + Esc I can see kbluetooth4 in "System Activity". All that's changed is I did a fresh install (I don't do upgrades) of openSUSE 11.1 with the same KDE I was running in 11.0. I would like to know what's broke even if I can't fix it. I hate not knowing why something isn't doing what it's suppose to be doing.

i have the hp integrated module for bluetooth, and the bluez package installed, but the only way i discovered to activate it is from konsole, with some issues:
1-how can i start the bluetooth by graphical way?
2-kbluetooth4 says my device don't have a input support, so i can't connect them unless i try to send something notebook>device (the otherwise isn't allowed)
3-since i have full functionality at w7, how can i setup bluetooth beyond these problems to achieve the same?

I am trying to tether internet from my LG Leon to a new debian 8.1 install so i can install network drivers but i keep getting disconnected.After activating the tethering, it works fine, and appears as a "wired" connection in Network, after a minute it will always change from wired to "Mobile Broadband" and asks me to select my "Network". (Then the internet doesn't work until tethering is reset.) Is there any way i can stop debian from doing this? The silly thing the internet works perfectly until it shifts it like this.

I have an iPhone and I am trying to get Internet tethering to work. I know tethering works on the phone as I successfully got it running under windows. I followed the instructions at the following site
[URL]
I ran the following commands
Firstly I installed dependencies with yum:
yum install libimobiledevice libimobiledevice-devel git gcc
Next I downloaded and compiled ipeth. Note: to do this I also had to install kernel headers, I also had to edit the ipheth.c file as per the instructions on the site for fedora 14 (see below for more)
git clone git://github.com/dgiagio/ipheth.git
cd ipheth/ipheth-pair
make
sudo make install
cd ../ipheth-driver/
sudo make install
[Code]....
This allowed me to successfully make the kernel driver. Once this was made I also copied the config file for the kernel driver to /usr/modipheth.d folder as per the readme instructions in the ipheth*folder.
When I type modprobe ipheth it doesn't state it's an incorrect command. I then plugged in my iPhone. Fedora detected it was plugged in and loaded the iPhone logo on the desktop. Internet tethering is turned on within the phone, however network manager does not see it as a device.

I don't know what the problem is, I followed the instructions here: [url]
But like some other folks there, netcfg usb0 dhcp just eventually times out.
I have an htc evo and fedora 15.

What I currently do is run this script -
Code:
rfcomm release 0
CHANNEL = `sdptool search --bdaddr=00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A dun | grep Channel | cut -c14`
rfcomm bind 0 00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A ${CHANNEL}
wvdial e71bt
And my /etc/wvdial.conf is configured for AT&T connection here in the US.
Question is, is there anyway I can integrate it with NetworkManager, instead of having to run this script?
There's a "Broadband" option on NetworkManager, but I am not able to get it to recognize my cell phone as a modem. The bluetooth applet only allows for file transfer

I want to tether my Milestone phone with my Lucid 10.04. I did a search regarding the software needed on the PC side to support this but unfortunately I found none. What all I got is a S/W named Pdanet to be used with windows only.
