Add plugin in bluez to poke at the modem with MM if it doesn't know the type of device, cache the result, the bluez plugin exports the information through a service 3. Add DUN gnome-bluetooth plugin to nm-applet which would poke the bluez service 4. Add native support in NM to do the connection through bluetoothd After 3., if the box is ticked, the device should appear like an unconfigured WWAN modem to the user. The service configuration can then be done through nm-applet. I can certainly take care of 2. and 3. if you do 1. and the left-overs of 4 :) Cheers -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
