At long last (and with no changes in between except an OS upgrade), I am finally able to connect my N810 to my WM5 Blackjack via bluetooth to get fast HSDPA data conenction on my N810.

Everything works fine now .

I did make some changes to Fanoush's script, and since the last time updgraded my OS2008 to the last but one release (OS2008 1.2007.42-19). No BT hacks on my Blackjack itself (except I had my BJ unlocked recently before I made an international trip - but that should not be a contributor in any way to get things working).


Thanks for all the help.
I will get back home and list down my steps and the mods to the script itself, so that other Blackjack users might also benefit from it. (please give me some time).

Below are the steps as to how I setup on both devices and got BT PAN connection working on my Blackjack and Nokia N810.

On the Blackjack (with WM5)
--------------------------------------------

1) Turn on Bluetooth on your phone (Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth
2) Goto Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth -> My Information Setting
and note down the Device Name (as you set it up) and the Device address
(Note: these two values will go in the script that is setup on the N810 side for variables BTADDR and BTNAME)
3) Goto Applications -> File Explorer
4) Get into the \Windows directory
5) Scroll down to "Internet Sharing" program and start it
(see tips online on how to make a shortcut to it on WM5 desktop, since this has to be run each time you connect).
6) On PC Connection setting select Bluetooth PAN
On Network Connection : Select whichever setting came with your ISP (Media Net for me with AT&T)
7) Press Connect on the Blackjack menu after putting in above settings.


On Nokia N810 (with OS2008 OS)
------------------------------------------------

a) on IT get the root access by getting gainroot (install the becomeroot package).
becomeroot is available in the Eko One repository here:
http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.ph...&system=maemo4


for all terminal commands, first get root permission by doing command

> "sudo gainroot"

b) Create a 'default' network connection from terminal with below command
> gconftool -s -t string /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/DEFAULT/type DUMMY


Note : Its is better to reboot you Nokia after this point and contiinute from there.

c) Setup Bluetooth pairing with your Bluetooth phone (by starting BT on both devices and pairing by entering the code as asked for on first time)

Edit : Just found that you also have to have Blutetooth Visible on the phone for the script top be able to connect. So Put BT ON and BT Visible YES.

d) Get the script as below and save on device as "pan_start.sh"
Replace the Lines for variables BTADDR and BTNAME with values as written down from Step 2 from Blackjack (Phone) setup.

e) Save the script on device as "pan_start.sh"

f) Make the file executable in terminal (as root - see sudo gainroot command above) as below by going to directory where file is saved

> cd <directory where file saved on device>

> chmod +x pan_start.sh

g) Now on Network connection - select the already created "DEFAULT" connection and connect

-------- At this step make sure Step 5, Step 6 and Step 7 is followed on Blackjack (phone) ----
-------- Make sure Bluetooth on Nokia N810 is started on ------

g) From terminal execute the pan_start script as below
> cd <directory where file saved on device>
> ./pan_start.sh

h) This should get you connected to the Phone over PAN on Bluetooth.

Hope this works for you all,
Allbest

pan_start.sh script follows below

EDIT: i see the instructions now. i give it a try on my Dash. Thanks

interesting i just posted a thread about this issue....can i use this with T-Mobile Dash with WM5 ? Could you please write instructions for newbie on how to use this ^

How do you set up the N800 as the master on the NAP network? I believe the script posted above is to connect the N800 to a NAP master but what I need to do is have the N800 be the master so I can have other bt devices connect to it on a PAN.


I have compiled udhcpd to the N800 and now I want to set up a PAN network with my N800 as the master, then I can have several BT devices connect to it, get assigned an IP address via udhcpd and gain internet access through the N800

already ran in to few problems. 1. I cant find BT address on dash. (when I connected dash to n810, tablet does show bt address. I wonder if its the same number) 2. I dont know how to access documents folder from terminal on n810 (this is where my script file is)

You can also find your phone BT address from the Nokia N810 itself (if yuo have already successfully paired with the phone).

On N810 - goto Settings -> Control Panel -> Phone (on Connectivity block)
and select the phone you have paied from drop down and do EDIT.
That will give you the BT address of the paied phone itself.

As you mentioned, it is indeed the same number.

To get into the Documents folder (it is a hidden folder in terminal mode)

on terminal
> cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents

that should get you to the scripts file location.

As an aside, are you a bong (in the bengali sense) ?

thanks for reply no. I am not bengali.

after sudo gainroot I get msg. enable rd mode if u want........ is this correct

and after executing the script I get an error:

line1: #!/bin/sh: not found root

ok. thanks alot. it does work. i also followed these instructions to enable RD mode. This N810 is a big pain in the a55, but i might keep it after all. (still thinking). Now i just need to get Gnumeric and Abiword to work on N810 (i tried without success so far)

* Click the globe symbol at the upper left of the Nokia display.
* Choose "Open new browser window."
* Enter "http://gronmayer.com/it" into the address window. There are actually many software repositories on the Web, this is a personal favorite that seems to have a wide selection.
* Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Select All Repositories." You can always delete some or all of them later, this step assures you will have a wide selection.
* Click the "Install Selected" button.
* Click "OK" to a bunch of "Add Catalog" prompts that will appear, one for each repository.
* The above steps automatically launch the application manager, but you can also launch it by clicking the four-blocks icon and choosing "Settings" and then "Application Manager".
* Choose "Browse Installable Applications."
* Choose "All".
* Scroll down to "Becomeroot", select it and choose "Install".

Now we have "becomeroot" available to get around a problem with the Nokia N810 — it doesn't have a root password and no straightforward way to create one. Ordinarily one would execute "su" and get to root access on a new system because there is no assigned password, then assign one. But the Nokia N810 is set up so there is no defined root password and no way to assign one — except by way of "becomeroot".

* Click the four-blocks icon and choose "Utilities".
* Scroll to the bottom of the list and select "Xterm".
* Type in "sudo gainroot". You will see a root prompt.
* Execute the "passwd" command and carefully assign a root password.

if the script in post #42 fails in mysterious ways then check long lines, some parts splitted to multiple lines in quoting above must be single long line to work correctly, see

Nilchak,

Why do I get permission denied when I run the script? I have installed becomeroot package and I am in root already. --->#. I have followed your instructions to the letter and I am just stuck at being unable to run the script. Thanks for any help.
