hello,

maybe this is a stupid quiestion, but the topic is unclear to me.

I've a laptop with bluetooth and a cellular phone.
I can do USB tethering: Just connect the devices, set the telephone in tethering mode, and use the freshly appearing ethernet interface on the laptop - and the computer is online.

But how to do this by bluetooth?

I can set my phone to bluetooth tethering, and pair it with the computer:
it is shown correcty(?) in bluetoothctl:

Code:

If you use networkmanager, compile it with USE="bluetooth".
Then add bluetooth connection in NM.
