Re: [NetworkManager] Bluetooth support

[Claudio Takahasi <cktakahasi gmail com>]

Hi Tom,

Sorry but I decided implement the Bluetooth PAN service at 
BlueZ level.  In my opinion this approach wil be better to embedded devices 
and open new perspectives to implement more Bluetooth Local Services
(eg: printer, data exchange, dialup networking, headset, ...)

If possible I expect contribute to NetworkManager project soon.

Thanks for your time.
Claudio.
