Bluetooth DUN
Linux Bluetooth DUN on Windows Mobile
Set up for using Bluetooth DUN from Ubuntu (should work with other linux distros) to Windows Mobile.
1 - Firstly, install wvdial and bluez-compat :
aptitude install bluez-compat, wvdial
2 - pair your windows mobile device with the PC. I cheated and used the ubuntu bluetooth-applet.
- set PC to be visible
- on WM go to settings > connections > bluetooth and select connect to device
- find PC in list and connect.
- enter the pin on WM then the same pin on the PC when the prompt appears.
- Finish the rest of the wizard.
(it is also possible to edit /etc/bluetooth/pin to set up default pin etc)
3 - configure bluetooth to connect to the windows mobile device - paste this into your /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
rfcomm0 {
bind yes;
device 00:17:83:CF:A2:90;
channel 4;
comment HTC_TyTN_II
}
You need to alter the device id etc - find this out from :
# hcitool dev Devices: hci0 00:1B:DC:01:D3:A7 use the device here in the next line : # hcitool -i hci0 scan Scanning ... 00:17:83:CF:A2:90 HTC_TyTN_II
4 - restart bluetooth - it should assign the device
Check using
# rfcomm show hci0 rfcomm0: 00:17:83:CF:A2:90 channel 4 closed
5 - configure wvdial with a script to allow dial up via GPRS
[Dialer bt] Modem = /dev/rfcomm0 Baud = 230400 Init1 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","btmobile.bt.com" Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem ISDN = 0 Phone = *99# Username = bt Password = bt New PPPD = yes Modem = /dev/rfcomm0 Abort on Busy = off Carrier Check = on Check Def Route = on Abort on No Dialtone = on Stupid Mode = on Idle Seconds = 0 Auto DNS = on Modem Type = Analog Modem
you will need to change the apn name (btmobile.bt.com) and the username and password for your network.
The phone number may well work with '*99***1#' but you should not need this as this specifies to connect using a pre-saved connection in the phone rather than using the apn here.
Dial with wvdial <dialer name> so in this case would be wvdial bt
Note - On WM6?, bluetooth DUN was removed in place of bluetooth PAN. You need to install this using the cab attached to this page.

if you get the following line in dmesg : rfcomm_tty_ioctl: TIOCGSERIAL is not supported
you have probably got the wrong channel set up. Re-do :
