[Bug 336012] Re: bluetooth network PAN fails to connect to mobile phone

[Jamie Lokier]

Fwiw,

I agree that the Bluez documentation is poor in this area.  But
Bluetooth is quite complicated; it would be difficult to write good
documentation.

The D-Bus documentation of Bluez is poor for controlling PAN
connections, which you are supposed to do now that "pand" is in "bluez-
compat", meaning deprecated.  The documentation is minimal, and doesn't
really explain that the D-Bus calls have changed between Bluez versions,
without backward compatibility.  When I last looked, the sample script
calling D-Bus didn't work with the current Bluez version.  And D-Bus is
too difficult to use from a shell script, when compound values are
involved.

So hooray for still having "pand", which is simple and works :-)
