hi Patrick -
I had success tethering the iPhone using blueman-1.21-2.fc12... I use
wicd for my network connections so i switched to the ethernet once
connected...
I never tested it with networkmanager and nm-applet but the bluetooth
connection should become available once you are tethered...
The thing is, I want to do this precisely because my DSL connection is down, so I can' t run yum from my Fedora machines (oh the humanity!). I did dl the blueman rpm to the iMac and copy it over, but of course it wants a couple of others as dependencies, which want others etc etc. You get the picture. I guess I'll hope the DSL comes back up and I can do this properly, ready for next time :-) Hmmm, it would be nice to be able to do some kind of web-based dependency resolution (e.g. I upload a list of my installed rpms, some remote service then tells me what to download to install foo). Nice project for someone with time on their hands.
BTW the Release Notes for F12 claim that Bluetooth tethering works out of the box. I guess I must have the wrong box.
Thanks for your help.
