Hi folks,
finally, after days (weeks?) of work, I managed to get my Bluetooth USB dongle working with my iLiad. I am now able to connect to the Internet using my mobile phone and the BT connection
You find the scripts attached. But first some
caveats:
- It's very buggy, expect your iLiad to freeze very often. Unfortunately I can't debug the kernel panics it creates, so I don't know how to fix these issues...
- Don't remove the USB dongle without running the provided unmount script - this will definitely freeze your device.
- This doesn't mean the unmounting script runs without any freeze... I hope you get the point
- dillo doesn't work for me, iNewsStand does.
At the moment the scripts are configured for my Sony Ericsson K610i with a german O2 card. Check the file _config.sh for configuration advises: You have to adjust your mobile phone's BT address and maybe the PPP options (in _hidden/pppd/*).
After configuring, start the first script. Wait until it's finished, then hook up your USB dongle. Wait until the dongle's LED is flashing (if your dongle has one - or just wait ~5 sec.). Run the second script and watch your mobile phone connect to the Internet.
If you have some ideas how to avoid the freezes, please let me know...
edit: If your mobile asks you for a pin code, it's 1234.
