Bug 64686 – bluez pand initscripts

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Dick Marinus 2004-09-19 14:41:27 UTC]

I've created a pand initscript start the bluez pan daemon (in network access point mode (NAP)) and setup ethernet bridging.
All you need is a vanilla kernel (or better ;-)) with ethernet briding and bridge-utils.
I hope this (or something improved) could make it into bluez-utils (maybe under a USE flag like +network)

we're slowly adding support for conf.d in the bluetooth init.d script. pand is one of the new things we are allowing users to enable through conf.d.

many further down the road we can either merge this with the gentoo netconfig stuff.

Pand support has been added to the bluetooth init script - can this bug report be closed?

[Comment 5 Dick Marinus 2005-03-25 13:11:17 UTC]

no, my pan script is more advanced, it creates an ethernet bridge.

what is brctl in the init script here? i can't find it in bluez-utils

[Comment 7 Dick Marinus 2005-04-26 10:24:05 UTC]

It's from net-misc/bridge-utils

brctl - ethernet bridge administration

pand

outdated by baselayout and new bluetooth init script

[Comment 9 Dick Marinus 2005-05-20 06:15:29 UTC]

I suppose the functionality in net.bnep0 should be implemented as I describe in
93321.

I've created some documentation on:
