Hi Klistvud,
I've never got Bluetooth tethering working. Bluetooth pairing is fine
but when I use the Debian built-in Bluetooth and attempt the DUN
setup, I get a timeout error during 'detecting phone details'. Using
the Blueman DUN wizard I get "Device Added Successfully but Failed to
Connect".
It sound like the phone is not responding to the request but only only
relevant setting I found is 'modem' under Settings/Connectivity where
the only option is infrared. My model is the N95-3. Maybe the N95 8M
is the only one with Bluetooth tethering.
