Hi; I want to share my laptop network connection to my Android cellphone (a Xperia Play). I believe this is called Bluetooth Network Aggregation Point, and (since I use Gentoo) I tried to follow this guide: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Set_up_a_bluetooth_NAP However, it doesn't seem to be working. Roughly, the steps I believe are necessary are: 1. Start a DHCP server on the laptop. 2. Link the phone and the laptop. 3. Connect the phone and the laptop. 4. Create a bridge containing the laptop network adapter (eth0 in my case) and the bluetooth connection adapter (bnep0, I believe should be called). 5. Cellphone should be able to use the laptop network. If I'm failing to understand something, please tell me. I cannot get to step 3: I can link my laptop and cellphone, either using the command line tools or the gnome-bluetooth package, but my phone says "Linked but not connected". I have never seen the bnep0 adapter with ifconfig -a. And even if I can see the dbus API with gdbus introspect -r -y -d org.bluez -o / I don't understand how to call the (seemingly appropriate) methods, like org.bluez.NetworkServer.Register. I can't find the documentation, and Google doesn't help since I'm using version 4.96, and most search results give instructions for older versions, before the dbus API. I'm using: Kernel 3.0.4 bluez 4.96 gnome-bluetooth 3.2.0 bridge-utils 1.4 I'm asking here first before reading the source code: I can do that, but at least a couple of pointers of what to look for would be really appreciated.
