N900 says in the bluetooth setup GUI that the supported profile is OPP and bnep0 is not shown in ifconfig.

I had the devices paired already before installing the scripts, but I also tried to pair them again. This did not help either.

Any suggestions what might be the reason?
What does your /etc/bluetooth/main.conf look like?

You may need to modify the line:
Code:
DisablePlugins = network,input,hal
and remove the network part. This is my line on my phone:
Code:
DisablePlugins = hal
A reboot is recommended. You could probably try restarting bluetoothd instead as that may work.
