greygoo (or someone else ) , could you please explain how to do this with a simple tutorial and OS2008 compatible references... I have a N800 with OS2008 and would like this to work to be able to share my BT Phone connection to an Ipod Touch.

Thanks!

That way I can use my umts flatrate via bluetooth from the mobile phone on my n800 while also providing natted network connectivity to my girlfriends n800 through an ad-hoc wlan link. I think the tricky part was just getting the ad-hoc connection active without shutting down the bluetooth link to the phone, some iwconfig/ifconfig scripting solved it. I have old modules and a iptables package on garage.maemo.org, the current modules are still under test but about the stability no complains came up yet I will update the files on garage.maemo.org asap, just updating to the latest OS release.
