There is probably a stable version from a year ago or so that would
provide a lot more functionality. The bluez-user list was discussing
3.14 last year.
Of course to make this even more fun, if you do a man pand, there is
text covering a /etc/bluetooth/pan/dev-up script. No /etc/bluetooth/pan
directory on any of my Centos builds.
So I have pand running, but then how do I bring the interface up? Well
I hope to do some things with pand tonight after the 802 sessions for
the day.
Oh, and as far as stable and backleveled.... I work on IEEE 802
standards. It takes us YEARS these days to get a standard out. And
all we do is 'put ink on paper'. Well time to focus in on the week's
announcements. Oh, such fun!
