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.
Thanks for your nice solution to my question, already working.
Some days ago I set up ad-hoc network to have TVersity to stream media from PC running XP Windows to Nokia maemo.
Does it mean I can't have another application, i.e. web browser, running on maemo to access the Internet over mobile phone's umts via bluetooth ?
I am aware processor is slow, but what really shuts down bluetooth link ?

It looks you have developed ICS (known from XP Windows - Internet Connection Sharing) for maemo.
Great.
Thanks.
Should that work the same way on PC connected to umts cell phone via bluetooth, sharing Internet access via Wifi access point ?
Tomorrow I will try to test 3.5 GHz wimax modem as a mobile wimax ap.
