I've upgraded to the latest OS on my N800 (Diablo ver 5.2008.43-7) and found the Bluetooth PAN for Maemo add on is no longer working.

For my phone (SE K800i) this is the only way I've been able to connect to the internet.

I've downloaded the latest version of BT Pan (maemo-pan 1.0.1 for Diablo) but I'm not sure how to configure it.

I can see 'Dummy' in the Connections properties box which appeared after the download so I'm assuming this is the BT connection, but it's not listed when I choose 'change connection' from the status bar.

Can any one help please?

I 've paired the phone and tablet in the usual way and tested it with a file ok

l'll write up a noobs guide as you suggested as l've spent some time researching this today and l'm none the wiser. No disrespect to some of the senior members intended , it's just that l'm completely new to linux.

Thanks for the replies so far.

@tso: You are NOT using Diablo, are you? I cannot make it work under Diablo.

@sevep: Do not feel pressure to get it work. I tried for QUITE awhile and cannot get it work. Sure, output always proportional to input, maybe putting more effort to it will do :-). I am referring to BT PAN with winPC. I do not have a BT PAN phone, maybe that is different.

Y es it did mention Diablo in the flash utility, so I assume that's what I got.

l've tried on and off since the launch of OS 2008 to get the mobile to connect via GPRS and gave up in the end.


I discovered BT Pan on the older OS only last week so l'm prepared to give it a shot on this OS as it's opened up a whole new range of possibilities for me.

Any other help gratefully received.

BTW Is it possible to downgrade should I need to?
The older version was OS2008 2.2007.551-3

That may be a trick, if there is any. I would just reflash to any version I want. I have NOT done it, but I guess that should work. Download the olderversion to your PC, upon reflash using Nokia update wizard, they always prompt for the OS, then just change to whatever version you want.

i am, and it works. dont recall how tho, but i suspect i may have a odd pan package, hang on.

gah, supposedly there is a 1.0.1 of maemo-pan out there, but the garage page only holds what looks like 1.0, and it cant tell if thats the same version is i have locally (filename says 1.0, but its timestamp is maybe 4 months newer then the one on garage).

Same here. I've got the ordinary PAN package, up-to-date Diablo, and what can I say? It just works...

ah yes, 1.0.1 is available via extras.

also check that libicd-network-dummy is 0.12 as that one should have working dummy connections...

installing maemo-pan 1.0.1 from extras should update libicd as well as its a defined dependency.

now if all thats installed, and things are still not working, i got no clue what so ever...
