i'm not an expert, but if you are using bluetooth DUN - you would get an IP, so yes it should work....

Yes does work. just "ifup -f bnep0" - you may ahve to add a stanza to /etc/network/internfaces - fiddled a lot with mine, but it works very well - even with windows!!!

ifup requires you to have write access on /var/run/ifstate which requires you to run this as root. Gainroot still doesn't allow it. Having ssh'd to the device as root, chmod'd ifstate and then run ifup using gainroot, no IP seems to be allocated. Surely there must be some better way of running this than as root or via chmoding the ifstate file?

Is it right that /etc/network/interfaces needs adding

Code:
auto bnep0
iface bnup0 inet static
   address 192.168.3.15
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   gateway 192.168.3.1
or similar? I tried that and it still doesn't work.

Is there any progress for the original question?

I would like to be able to ssh N900 via bluetooth network. I could send/receive files between the device and my F12 fine however ssh'ing doesn't seem to work. (I used PC-Connectivity package to configure IP settings for the bluetooth network.)

It would be great if someone shed light on this issue.

Any progress on this?

I found:

Here is how I manage to establish a network connection
between N900 and my MacBookPro over Bluetooth PAN.

On N900: Edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and remove 'network' from the
configuration option 'DisablePlugins'. Reboot device.
This enables Bluetooth PAN.

Now pair your PC with your N900. On OSX: Go to network
preferences and add interface 'Bluetooth PAN'. Assign an IP
address to this interface, like 10.10.0.2 (Do not use your
LAN subnet like 192.. or 172.. to avoid routing issues).

Now grab your N900 and assign a IP address to the bluetooth
interface:

ifconfig bnep0 up 10.10.0.2

Now you should be able to ping and ssh 10.10.0.2 from your PC.
For ssh: be sure to install OpenSSH server on your device.

Have fun,

euer datenpeter!

Use the dbus-scripts daemon if you do not want to
assign the IP address manually via Xterminal everytime
a connection has been established.

Here is how:

# wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...mo-5_armel.deb
# dpkg -i dbus-scripts_1.0+maemo-5_armel.deb

Create /usr/bin/bt.sh, contents:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 3
ifconfig bnep0 up 10.10.0.2
# chmod +x /usr/bin/bt.sh

Create /etc/dbus-scripts.d/dbus-scripts, contents:

Code:
/usr/bin/bt.sh * * org.bluez.Device PropertyChanged Connected
killall dbus-scripts
/etc/init.d/dbus-scripts start

Doesn't that run that script also when just some other than network device is connected by Bluetooth?
