Re: Stock kernel and NAT support
 

yep, that's it.
Writing this connected via PAN to my N900 which does GPRS (well
in the train even this is luck).
The vmware-image with scratchbox is really cool.

Re: Stock kernel and NAT support
 

Added a udev-rule which whenever a bnep[0-9]* comes up
starts an instance of my userspace-nat daemon and kills
it again when the bnep-device disappears.
I think I'm gonna stay with bluetooth connection for now.
It is simple, costs comparably little CPU-Power and when
doing a terminal session to my N900 it is much less choppy
as when I do that when Laptop and N900 see each other
via a WLAN-Access-Point at home.
And what might be interesting in addition PAN leaves
WLAN unused to e.g. connect to a public WLAN-Hotspot
and share this connection.
One drawback I see at the moment is that 2 PAN clients
connected to my N900 don't see each other at the moment
as they are living each in their private userspace network-stack.
Does anybody know if it is easily possible to get the linux-bridge
to work with stock kernel N900?
Other solution would be to have on the fly interface-adding/removal
to a single instance of the userspace-nat-daemon.
By the way I can even switch back an forth between WLAN-Hotspot
and UMTS as I'm just doing while writing this text.

How to get IP address?

I need to implement the scheme: internet wifi NAP> N800 (Easy Debian)> usbnet> PC (Ubuntu)
It may be an option Bluetooth PAN, but there is less difference in the speed of usb.

I combined the instructions:
http://wiki.maemo.org/USB_networking (the role of the host performs the N800)
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=25 (wlan0 changed to usb0)


My actions:

(/etc/network/interfaces is empty, not usb0, bnep0)

1. N800:
/etc/init.d/usbnet start
/etc/init.d/usbnet start
/etc/init.d/usbnet stop
/etc/init.d/usbnet start

2. PC: modprobe usbnet
(подсоединяю кабель)
3. N800: ifconfig usb0 10.0.0.1 up
4. PC: ifconfig usb0 10.0.0.2 up
