Re: [HOWTO] N900 Bluetooth-PAN Tethering (N900 supplies Internet Access for PC)

For folks wanting the internet connection to come up on BT connection, I suppose one might be able to get away with inserting an "/sbin/ifconfig gprs0 up" at the end of every bnepX "add" action in...

Re: [HOWTO] N900 Bluetooth-PAN Tethering (N900 supplies Internet Access for PC)

That looks about right to me. I didn't have to do it, but he did so YMMV.

OK; assuming the sale works out, francoisg and I can work something out separately or something. :)

Re: N900 and N9 for sale

Is the N900 still available? Mine is showing signs of sudden onset dementia. I'm in Central Ohio.

And if francoisg really wants that game grip pad, he's welcome to it. I have one already. ;)

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

Got mine in January 2010. So it's been a while. And y'know, I keep an eye out, watching the market for anything that meets my needs.

But right now what I get by with is a pocket Linux computer...

Re: Bluetooth Tethering On N900 No Longer Works

I prefer not having to run any script on the n900 at all.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement

Speaking as one who's surrounded by family members and friends with iPhone 3GSes, calling it "still supported" is an extraordinarily dubious position to take. It's "supported" in the sense that it's...

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client

I needed to install two additional packages to make this work:
python-setuptools
python-openssl

After that, though, it worked just fine.

Re: [HOWTO] N900 Bluetooth-PAN Tethering (N900 supplies Internet Access for PC)

I have a multiple-PCs method that doesn't use this script at all - it actually functions automatically once you make the BT connection. No need to run a script!

Re: Why do people say MeeGo is dead?

I've gotten this on occasion with stock PR1.3, so it's not the CSSU. Not sure what triggers it.
