Also make sure you install python for the nap server.
And wait a few minutes after a fresh reboot. Harmattan boots services in parallel and the UI may show up before the nap server is started from /etc/init/apps.

I installed an app on the Nexus 7 from Google Play called "BlueVPN [DUN Client]". I then paired the devices, started BlueVPN, and set the Access Point (3G) name in the settings. I could then link to the N9 and use my 3G connection.
I've also read that this works more reliably when wi-fi is turned off on the Nexus 7.
The N9 phone and N7 tablet were already paired. Neither one was rooted or anything special. I installed "BlueVPN [DUN Client]" on the Nexus 7 from Google Play. Then I copied a single line setting line from the N9 access point settings (the AP name) to the relevant setting on N7. It works beautifully!

Works for me now as well via BlueVPN. Too bad the AP settings etc. aren't device specific, apparently I will have to change them each time I want to switch from my mobile to the other one...

- Download my kernel and modules.

A bit more detailed from my experience:
- Have a whole image + open mode kernel already flashed and working
- Download kernel and modules - the btlc variants
- Transfer the modules .tar.gz to the device, devel-su and tar zxvf unpack at /
- Depmod the modules (depmod -a 2.6.32.54btlc-dfl61)
- Power off, Flash the new kernel only (-F fullimage.bin -k zImage_2.6.32.54btlc-dfl61 --flash-only=kernel), and boot.
- Untar the btpan scripts (tether.tar) under /
- remove the "network" clause from DisablePlugins in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
- Reboot, connect from other devices!

Thank you so much for writing up the instructions for us, btw.

With CM10.2 you can use N9's WIFI AP, since CM10.2 also supports adhoc-mode on Nexus 7.

I don't think an ad-hoc patch exists for the 2013 Nexus 7's wifi drivers yet anyway, I am planning to take a crack at it eventually as I'm starting to read up on developing for the platform but it will take time.
Honestly though, I think I'd prefer proper bluetooth tethering over wi-fi with this phone as the battery life would be flattened with joikuspot. I would be upset with the slower speeds if the N9 had LTE, but it's not so bad when i've only got 3.5G anyway.

battery life is great with bluetooth tethering. I only use my N9 for calls. Hence, the screen is rarely on. My iPod touch is tethered all day. Both last all day with basic usage.
