Security and Networking / Bluetooth Faq Or Howto?

oops ... found what i was looking for...

This is for an old ROM.  For those of us using the latest 3.5.4.1 OPIE (Hentges T1 release) is there a writeup?  The description at [a href=\"http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/BluetoothGprs]http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/BluetoothGprs[/url] seems to be out of date.

What about writeups for Opie-bluetooth Manager?  Without documentation I have assumed that you set your device name and pin via the config tab, use "scan" to find your phone, then bind the MAC address to rfcomm(x) via the "edit rfcomm bind table" button on the config tab.   The connection tab would be a status only tab.  On my machine the Bluetooth manager comes up but "scan" does not find my phone.  Force feeding the mac address does not seem to make a difference.  What is going on?

If someone can give me sufficient clues to make this *#$% thing work I'll write it up.

Is there a compiled copy of http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ that is known to work with the  3.5.4.1 release?

Security and Networking / Pointer Appreciated For 3.5.4.1/gpe Bluetooth

« on: March 29, 2006, 05:13:25 pm »

Okay,

I installed 3.5.4.1/GPE on my C1000.  I have previously had the default TriSoft rom so I tried OPIE first.  Boy was it sluggish.  In contrast GPE is a wonder.  I have my WiFi CF card working well but am having problems with Bluetooth/GPRS.  I use my K750i with my laptop regularly so the phone setup is good.

I've googled and read for several hours.  There are hundreds of postings on Bluetooth for older roms.  I have not found information on the newer OZ (3.5.4 and 3.5.4.1) releases.  What I've found leads me to believe that the GPE image for the 3.5.4.1 Alpha1 release may be missing some of the Bluetooth GUIs.  

By typing into the root shell I was able to start gpe-bluetooth and discover the K750i.  I have not been able to hook it up to the networking stack.

Pointers to relevant postings or documentation would be appreciated.  Alternatively, pointers to missing packages or other information would work.  And in a pinch a set of directions would not be dismissed.
