Re: NetworkManager Bluetooth DUN support

[nucco <afanen01 gmail com>]

If you're interested in bluetooth DUN, you can try the program
"blueman". Sorry i'm unable to send any links now, but a google search
will yield results. It is easy to install and use and integrates with
network-manager 0.7 and works quite well for me on my ubuntu intrepid
machine.

Bear in mind that bluetooth has limited speed, so if you're using a 3g
connection, you're probably still better off with a usb cable.

Fanen.
