According to his post I was replying to, the mere fact of enabling Bluetooth PAN on the N900 (even without routing etc.) and pairing it to the tablet should cause a new tethering option to appear in Android.

Unless I'm not looking in the right place, it doesn't seem to appear on the Galaxy Tab (just as the Q5 DUN doesn't work either).

If so, I don't see the point of going through your entire HOWTO, as I'd end up with a perfectly functional PAN server on the N900 side, but nothing to use it with on the tablet :-)
I am afraid I could not help you with making your android poping up things on which you could click to male everything to work.

However, if you are willingly to go for the solutions other than popup and click, you would like to look for bnep.ko and pand for froyo. The instructions to build bluetooth PAN are somewhere near to where you found the above binaries. Goood luck.
