 |
|
hello,
maybe this is a stupid quiestion, but the topic is unclear to me.
I've a laptop with bluetooth and a cellular phone.
I can do USB tethering: Just connect the devices, set the telephone in tethering mode, and use the freshly appearing ethernet interface on the laptop - and the computer is online.
But how to do this by bluetooth?
I can set my phone to bluetooth tethering, and pair it with the computer:
it is shown correcty(?) in bluetoothctl:

If you use networkmanager, compile it with USE="bluetooth".
Then add bluetooth connection in NM. |

I must re-activate this issue, since I am still struggling with it.
I am unsure if I understood it correctly, but to my knowledge, networkmanager does the handling of existing interfaces (I am using netifrc). So using networkmanger wouldn't help, because there is no interface present.
As said, bluetooth is running an the phone is connected, see bluetoothctl log above.
If I play sounds on the phone, the speakers of the laptop is used.
On the phone, bt-tethering is enabled, but nothing happens. The system has no interface:
| Code: |
# tree /sys/class/net/
/sys/class/net/
├── lo -> ../../devices/virtual/net/lo
└── wlp1s0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.2/0000:01:00.0/net/wlp1s0
3 directories, 0 files
|
If I do the same with USB (coupling, tethering), there is an interface:
| Code: |
# tree /sys/class/net/
/sys/class/net/
├── enp115s0f4u1u4 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:73:00.4/usb3/3-1/3-1.4/3-1.4:1.0/net/enp115s0f4u1u4
├── lo -> ../../devices/virtual/net/lo
└── wlp1s0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.2/0000:01:00.0/net/wlp1s0
4 directories, 0 files

So it seems for me that there is something missing with bluetooth below the networkmanager layer.
Wrong? Right? Any hints? |
