Hi Ashfaq,

Please don't use top posting in mailing lists. It breaks flow of
conversation. Please read http://ubuntu-in.org/wiki/Mailing_list_FAQ

The driver for bluetooth is included with standard kernel. Also if you
have bluez-utils package installed then you have all the things you
need.

Your smartlink modem may probably work after installing
sl-modem-daemon which is in multiverse repository and not on CD. But
this has nothing to do with bluetooth-GPRS connection. The GPRS
connection uses modem in your mobile phone. If GPRS is working on
Windows then it will surely work on (K)Ubuntu.

Hope this helps.
