Now, lets enter advanced layers of magic - how the heck one sets up (another) N900 to connect with (our) N900 in PAN mode, and benefit from internet access, just like PC does?

I've checked:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37710

...but this thread is a total mess, full of outdated informations (old PRs) and broken links. I'm pretty sure that most of things achieved by some early devel (long abandoned, since) could be achieved by editing proper files, just like Viqsi did with bridged scenario - the only "hatch" is that it would need to be done by someone knowledgeable about topic

In my scenario, I have main N900, which got cellular internet access, and should be sharing it - through bluetooth PAN - to PC and another N900. So, in total, there are 3 devices in my bluetooth LAN.

currently, 2 of them work as intended - main N900 have internet access and seamlessly share it with PC, both of them share (bluetooth) LAN. I would like to add 3th N900 to LAN (PAN), which would leech net the same way PC does it.

Any hints- at least where to start (apart from editing /etc/bluetooth/main.conf on "client" N900 too, and deleting "network" from disabled plugins) greatly appreciated, as I have NFC how to even connect another N900 to PAN, let alone configure it to benefit from shared internet.
