OK, I used Fedora Core 3 so it might be that the directory layout on gentoo is not the same and it also might be that you don't have /dev/rfcomm0, /dev/rfcomm1 etc (these are created on the fly by udev on Fedora when dund binds a particular bt address and channel to a serial port)

crw------- 1 tim root 216, 1 Aug 3 14:03 /dev/rfcomm1

crw------- 1 tim root 216, 2 Jul 31 16:13 /dev/rfcomm2

I need more information from you but there are some simple checks that you can do immediately:

Use lsmod to check that you have the bluetooth modules loaded.

[root@amachine]# lsmod | grep rf

rfcomm 40664 2

l2cap 27296 5 rfcomm

bluetooth 51076 7 rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb

Check that sdpd is running too.

What commands did you try that gave you the ioctl error? You might get this error because you have applied some ppp configuration option to something that is not a bluetooth serial port. Another possibility is that you have the right port but have attempted to use a pppd option which is not applicable to a bluetooth serial port.

One way to debug this is to start dund with "strace -f -o /tmp/log dund ..." and then to observe what parameters dund sends to pppd and what configuration file pppd reads. If you do this then send me the log file.

What kernel are you running? (send the output of uname -a) What is your version of dund? (send 1st line of output from dund -h) What pppd do you have? (type pppd version and send 1st line of error message).

Cheers,

Tim

Hi! I am using gentoo and dund does not work like you've specified. With the command line arguments like other websites suggest, it does seem to work but I get an error on pppd saying Inarrpopriate ioctl() for the device. Any ideas why would it be so?

How to enable web surfing on your phone using your pc's internet connection via bluetooth. This is also very useful for testing TCP/IP apps on the phone without running up a huge bill for internet access.
