You need pand in Ubuntu, I hope this help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8995803

WIDCOMM deliberately removed PAN profile from its driver for Vista, but driver for XP definitely works. You might have used a version of the driver that has PAN removed. For example, the following instructions is to build PAN with WIDCOMM: http://www.whizoo.com/bt_setup/

I don't know why WIDCOMM decided to remove PAN profile from driver for Vista, even WM has PAN setup, so I guess PAN is not an obsolete thing.
