[Bug 301480] [NEW] can't connect to PAN NAP

[jonek]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluez

In Ubuntu 8.10 the bluez handling of personal area networks is
undocumented and not working.

I have two boxes running 8.10 and bluez installed. There seems to exist
no possibility to connect one to the other via a Bluetooth PAN
connection.

On Ubuntu 8.04 this could be done via running pand on one side in role
NAP (network access point) and connecting from the other side with "pand
-c <btaddr>".

This does not work anymore even if package bluez-compat (containing
pand) is installed.

With bluez-compat not installed I can bring up the interface pan0 on
each side via ifconfig. Of course packages send via this interface get
lost because there exists no connection between those two interfaces and
I don't know how to bring up one.

How is this supposed to work now?

When scanning for the other side via "hcitool scan" it is found
correctly. Even pairing via the Gnome Buetooth Applet works fine.
Scanning SDP of the remote side works fine, too! PAN services are
discovered successfully on each side:

Service Name: BlueZ NAP service

I am happy to provide further information.
