Ah Dang, there goes my happiness :-)
I hate having to reinstall everything again (I know I can do a restore from the backup, but wasn't there a thread where somehow the restore from previous OS 2008 backup screwed up a few things ?)
But again I stand to gain quite a few updates too - particularly the updated Skype, which I can't install because of the old OS2008.
Thanks PyCage for your pointer. I will be glad to use ths BT PAN setup rather then run my scripts by hand each time.
I just wanted to give a quick thanks for the work on this. I've installed it and have a working connection with my WM 8525. The 810 just went up to a new level of usefulness for me.
Just tracked this down, having instaled it a few days ago. Many thanks to all involved.
It was a breeze setting up the PAN connection with an HTC TYTN II. DUN sort of worked, but messed up the internet connection on disconnect and was pretty flaky particularly if a call came in. It now just needs a quick click on the phone to enable Internet Sharing, and away I go. Really makes my N800 usable everywhere ow.
Although I may have discovered a slight feature, in that if are already connected and then try to connect again to the BT Pan the device resets itself. Not a huge problem, I won't do it twice !
Unfortunately my tablet sees my phone as pda thus this solution is not working for me. Is there any way to let the n810 thing that my samsung i780 is a phone instead off pda?
Is there an connection "icon" (ie: wifi,packet) Im using the beautiful LCARS theme so Im not sure if its lacking in my theme or in general, I am in love with the bt pan, My only question is does it drain the battery like the "stock" bluetooth connection, I've been disconnecting it as soon as I'm done 1. because I don't want to kill my battery 2. the lack of a notification icon.

It drains the battery like any bluetooth connection, although it should be somewhat less of a drain on idle than DUN (the "stock" connection type).
Doesn't it show up as if you were connected to WiFi?
