This article documents how to setup Debian for tethering to an N900. How to setup the N900 is described in the Bluetooth DUN article.
Setup Bluetooth connectivity
Installing required Debian packages
apt-get install bluez-utils pppconfig
Setting Up Bluetooth Connectivity
blackbox:~# hcitool scan Scanning ... 11:22:33:44:55:66 Nokia N900 blackbox:~# sdptool browse 11:22:33:44:55:66
Search for the Dial-Up Networking service
blackbox:~# sdptool browse 11:22:33:44:55:66
Browsing 11:22:33:44:55:66 ...
[...]
Service Name: Dial-Up Networking
Service RecHandle: 0x10005
Service Class ID List:
"Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
"Generic Networking" (0x1201)
Protocol Descriptor List:
"L2CAP" (0x0100)
"RFCOMM" (0x0003)
Channel: 1
Profile Descriptor List:

Version: 0x0100

blackbox:~#
Add an rfcomm device (e.g. rfcomm0) to /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf (make sure to replace the Bluetooth device address 11:22:33:44:55:66 with the Bluetooth device address of your N900):
/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
rfcomm0 {
# # Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;
#
# # Bluetooth address of the device
device 11:22:33:44:55:66;
#
# # RFCOMM channel for the connection (whatever you get from the sdptool output)
channel 1;
#
# # Description of the connection
comment "N900";
}
Restart the bluetooth stack:
blackbox:~# /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
For bluetooth pairing you can run
blackbox:~# cat < /dev/rfcomm0
and first the N900 then the Debian system should ask you for a 4 digit PIN which you define on the N900 and confirm on the Debian system. You might have to configure the helper application which is using the PIN in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
Dial-Up Settings
Run pppconfig and use /dev/rfcomm0 as the modem interface:
In my settings for klarmobil (Germany) I manually added two lines (at+cdgcont=... and AT+CREG...):
blackbox:~# cat /etc/chatscripts/klarmobil # This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.3.18. # Please do not delete any of the comments. Pppconfig needs them. # # ispauth PAP # abortstring ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT DELAYED # modeminit ATZ # ispnumber OK at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet.t-mobile","",0,0 OK AT+CREG=2 OK-AT-OK "ATDT*99#" # ispconnect CONNECT \d\c # prelogin # ispname # isppassword # postlogin # end of pppconfig stuff blackbox:~#
In my peers file I changed the baud rate to the device
blackbox:~# cat /etc/ppp/peers/klarmobil # This optionfile was generated by pppconfig 2.3.18. # # hide-password noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/klarmobil" debug /dev/rfcomm0 #460800 921600 defaultroute noipdefault user "tm" remotename klarmobil ipparam klarmobil usepeerdns blackbox:~#
For ifupdown integration add to /etc/network/interfaces
iface ppp0 inet ppp provider klarmobil
Details are in the Debian Reference.
