Internet in Linux via Mobile GPRS thru Bluetooth

[ThinkFree]

Press CTRL +C once again or you can just close the terminal.

When using in Opensuse, I have to give the following command after every restart

rfcomm bind 0 00:21:092:7B:75 1

Please tell how to ensure I don't need to enter it before using wvdial

Don't blame me for putting the smiley, It's digit forum's fault. I typed
rfcomm bind 0 00:21:09:[NoSpaceThere] D2:7B:75 1

Any commands you wanna auto-run, put it in either the startup-manager of your DE or place it in .bashrc.

Alternatively, edit the /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf to your preferences

Thanks a lot for this thread guys. After toiling for the whole weekend, i finally managed to connect to the internet in my ubuntu. Many many thanks.
I had to connect via bluetooth. When i connect my phone via usb cable, and issue the command 'sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf' it says 'no modem detected'. But anyway, net is working through bluetooth and i am happy.

 

[gary4gar]

Please help. I am connecting using data cable and wvdial.conf looks like that



But when I try to connect I get the following message in terminal

I got the same error, of Phone not responding.
anyone else help?

This wvdial.conf solved my problem(This is for bluetooth, but worked with data cable as well).

That the problem with Ubuntu, Bluetooth pairing never works for me.
I tried on arch Linux and there was a command called "passkey-agent". by which pairing was sucessfull.

can anyone tell me any working method of bluetooth pairing in Linux mint 5XFCE which is based on Ubuntu 8.04?

@gary4gar

Ubuntu 8.04 has sorted out this pairing bug.. I have tried it myself.. as for Linux Mint I cannot comment, so you can you can go through this [post=528170]post[/post] of mine, if it by any chance helps!

 

[gary4gar]

Anyone tried BlueSoeil linux version?

Looks good, but the downside is its a evaluation version with file transfer limit of 5MB. anyways wonder if i would be capable of easy pairing.

nopes, it didn't help. get pairing failed, i tried with 1234,000 and other such common pins. but it does not seem to take the pin defined in /etc/hcid.conf seems its missing a pin_helper program. also this passkey-agent is not present.
