 |
|
Hi all!
I am trying N-th day to setup a bluetooth PAN...
Followed off course many documentaries over internet,
they all are telling me at some point to run the following command:
 # pand --listen --role NAP[/b]
Well, pand seems to be not found at all in my binaries...
More than that, it seems to reside inside bluez-pan package
but gentoo's portage is missing it, too.
I think it is time to suck windows milkbottle..
Or there exist any solutions?  |

Well, that was my bible for bluetooth...
I used it as my start point when connected a Motorola to my PC via bluetooth.
Let be closer to problem: where Setting up a Personal Area Network (PAN) section is beginning,
I see these words: We have to start the pand daemon in the host that will provide the NAP.
No explanation where it is taken from -- they assume it already exists on my gentoo distro?
But running pand as root gives me only an answer from bash that command not found:
which: no pand in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin).
Maybe kernel is quilty? Here are some snapshots from it:
| Code: |
--- Bluetooth subsystem support
<M> L2CAP protocol support
<M> SCO links support
<M> RFCOMM protocol support
[*] RFCOMM TTY support
<M> BNEP protocol support
[*] Multicast filter support
[*] Protocol filter support
<M> HIDP protocol support
Bluetooth device drivers --->
<M> HCI USB driver
[*] SCO (voice) support
<M> HCI UART driver
[*] UART (H4) protocol support
[*] BCSP protocol support
<M> HCI BCM203x USB driver
<M> HCI BPA10x USB driver
<M> HCI BlueFRITZ! USB driver
< > HCI VHCI (Virtual HCI device) driver
|
On USB -- OHCI,UHCI,EHCI -- all are enabled;
Have I missed something?
P.S.: address of my bluetooth dongle is 11:11:11:11:11:11. Is it normal? 
P.P.S.: bluez-utils is emerged... |

Well, just now I succeeded to do a rfcomm connection between my laptop and PC,
but still don't know what to do with this to provide an inet link to my laptop (PC is connected);
That means drivers are O.K., settings also...

Still carrying an UTP cable-reel with myself anywhere I go with laptop... Funny!  |

While crawling through various forums, I already get one difference between std gentoo bluetooth guide
and the reality: they say that sdpd is deprecated and not used anymore, while gentoo's guide is telling vice-versa...
Maybe this is the key:
| Code: |
mousedrx mousedrx # hcitool --help
hcitool - HCI Tool ver 3.28
Usage:
hcitool [options] <command> [command parameters]
Options:
--help Display help
-i dev HCI device
Commands:
dev Display local devices
inq Inquire remote devices
scan Scan for remote devices
name Get name from remote device
info Get information from remote device
spinq Start periodic inquiry
epinq Exit periodic inquiry
cmd Submit arbitrary HCI commands
con Display active connections
cc Create connection to remote device
dc Disconnect from remote device
sr Switch master/slave role
cpt Change connection packet type
rssi Display connection RSSI
lq Display link quality
tpl Display transmit power level
afh Display AFH channel map
lst Set/display link supervision timeout
auth Request authentication
enc Set connection encryption
key Change connection link key
clkoff Read clock offset
clock Read local or remote clock
|
Notice that line: cc Create connection to remote device -- probably this is newer pand?
I didn't test this yet, but will try to backtrack...
Wish me luck... or tell me that I'm sisif... |

Closing topic: you just ahve to emerge the new bluez-utils with the following USE flag enabled:
| Code: |
# USE='old-daemons' emerge -pv bluez-utils
[ebuild R ] net-wireless/bluez-utils-3.28-r1 USE="alsa cups gstreamer hal old-daemons usb -debug -examples -test-programs" 0 kB
#
|
and pand appears to be present this time...
P.S. I still could not setup a Bluetooth network between laptop and PC...
This is because class of laptop BT adapter is 0x00XXXX, meaning no network capabilities...
Shame for ASSUSS! |
