Then download the scripts from:

I used a slightly modified version of the tether script posted by jschan from here:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58570. This is the one I was using on N900.

Then I added some rules to udev for any bnep* device.

Added a slightly modified test-nap script (just changed the timeout to something like 11 days) as discovered by myself and madmo:


The nap server is run from /etc/init/apps.

So here are the steps:
  • Download my kernel and modules.
  • Depmod the modules
  • Flash the kernel.
  • Untar the btpan scripts under /
  • remove the "network" clause from DisablePlugins in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
  • Connect from other devices!

I have tethered both an iPod touch and Nexus 7 to my N9 and N950 at the same time. Works like a champ.
Hi,

www.ctrl-h.net is down and web.archive.net haven't mirrored that site unfortunately.
Could you (or anyone else) share btpan.tar (and other usable scripts) to get Bluetooth tethering?

I'm still using n9, love this phone, but now I'm noe often working remotely and it would be said to abandon this phone, because of that (I know there are some scripts on github, but this was much more complete solution that simply worked out of box[according to the description ;-] ))
