Post Bluetooth-modem on Linux Mint
I have tried to connect to the internet using my bluetooth modem on linux mint.
The bluetooth-connection (setting up the Access-Point as modem) works, but when I try to connect to the *net (using a small programm called "Bongosurfer"), the syslog shows the following:

Any suggestions?

My configuration is like this:
PC->Stick (a Typhoon, dunno much else, because I don't have a package and it only says something like "Typhoon Bluetooth 2.0" on it) --Bluetooth--> Fritz Bluetooth-Access Point
i have to look up the specifics, will do tomorrow...if I don't forget...

Is it an USB stick? if so, lsusb can output quite a lot of information. lspci works well too on pci stuff.

Post Re: Bluetooth-modem on Linux Mint
IT WORKS!

I am finally surfing the internet using Linux!

I now know how to use wvdial to set up an internet connection,
but I would rather use [url]bongosurfer[/url] , which still doesn't work...

Well, for the moment I am just happy that I can browse lostinthebox from a different operating system.

Nice job, do document it somewhere for others who might have the same problem.

Post Bluetooth modem on Linux Mint
Hello

I have Mint dual boot on an X60 IMB xp pro. I was wondering why the sound is so much better using Mint. On XP the sound distorts crackling sound.

This is my first experience with Linux and...I kinda I like it.
