Comment 274 for bug 268502

Tom ,

Thanks! I did not think that the 'fix committed' worked like that, but was looking through the thread for a fix that someone said "worked" and a response saying, "yes, worked for me, too".

On a whim, I added the repository "http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueman/ppa/ubuntu karmic main" and then ran an update. It updated the packages and now I have been able to pair 2 phones with Karmic. The one allows PANU network connection and the other file transfers. I verified both worked last night. Now, I can pair to my phone with the PANU network, but cannot actually connect to that network... I will try a reboot, but that is very XP :-(. The phone and the computer show 'connected' and I selected connect to network, but the network manager will not connect, thiough it shows up in the dropdown list in the gnome applet. When the other phone comes home, I will see if I can transfer files again today. I tried a number of times last night and was successful via all means of file transfer. The next test is to see if I can connect my BT-serial port.

IN summary, it still seems a bit iff-y. THe BTUSB dongle shows up as Accel-OB2 and it identifies as Cambridge ltd. The error in the syslog is:
NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_device_bt_connect_cb(): Error connecting with bluez: Connection refused (111)

If my serial port works, I'll post that here.
