It just says if you remove "network" from the disabled plugins list in the bluetooth main.conf then PAN will work.

I'm going to install iptables and use your script and manually configure the network on both sides and see where that gets me.

Changing the subject totally, I lived in HK from 1977 until the early '90s!

Awesome place!
Thanks to this info and something I believe I read from 9000 about not needing pc-connectivity-manager and sixaxis conflicts, I have both bluetooth tethering and sixaxis support working in parallel. Summary is just do as Crab suggested above: remove the offending 'network' entry and don't install pc-connectivity-manager. If you already did install it, however, just go into /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and uncomment the DisablePlugins line while removing 'network' from the list of plugins to disable.
