[SWLUG] Bluetooth

[Steve Anderson]

Hello all.

Anyone got any experience of using Bluetooth with Linux? I've just 
dragged myself into the 21st Century by getting a mobile with it, and 
I'm wondering how easy it would be to share a network connection over 
Bluetooth to it so I can have cheap/fast net access on it. (It's a Sony 
Ericsson K700i, just on the off-chance someone knows it!)

I've managed to track down stuff about sharing files and contact info 
under Linux, and sharing net connections under OSX and Windows, but I 
want my always on Linux box to provide a gateway.

I've had a look at what USB dongles are supported under Linux, and it 
seems to be pretty much all of them, so Maplin will get a visit later.

Any input, anyone?

BTW, been trying Ubuntu Linux. It's nice, if you like Gnome 2.8 and 
Debian and can cope with their no-root-user paradigm (you sudo all the 
time) or can be bothered creating root and chowning things. I did the 
latter =)
