BT DUN/PAN BT STACK

[Guest menno2]

Hey folks,

other custom roms for other phones feature a tweaked bluetooth stack, so that when BT Is turned on and a pc searches

for the BT services on the phone BT DUN and BT PAN profiles are available.

I would like to use my pulse on the road as a 3g gatgeway trough BT to my laptop.

Could you guys please take the BT stack of other custom roms and put it into the Pulse as well? (it should share

the same BT chip with at least a phone right?)

THnx a lot!

you could use and app called "barnacle" from the market. it turns your phone into a wireless access point ....

Barnacle apparently works for wifi. I tried it with the old leaked rom and didn't get anywhere, but I think that was related to my setup, others have had success.

As for bluetooth, as far as I know other roms don't use a modified stack. The bluetooth stack works fine as it is, it is other components that are broken. pand works fine, and in theory you could build a kernel with netfilter (iptables) support and have a NAT'd connection through PAN. The problem is that enabling netfilter breaks wifi on our devices, so if you don't mind loosing wifi you can have a NAT'd PAN connection (I say in theory because I have only tested pand and iptables seperately, but it should work).

DUN requires other software. PDAnet's DUN function appears to work (almost). I can connect to the DUN service, but can never successfully dial. I think the problem is more related to the poor support for the product (especially on linux) than our devices. I have read that for PDAnet's DUN to work you must first have connected using the usb client at least once, since I only have linux systems and they don't have linux client software I can't confirm. I haven't been able to find any info about dial scripts for PDAnet which isn't helping. I might have another go at getting it working, but it isn't free anyway so wouldn't be a great option.

If anyone knows of other DUN software, or roms with built-in DUN support please let me know.
