Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ModemManager-0.3-9.git20100409.fc12.i686 NetworkManager-0.8.0-6.git20100408.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to a bluetooth dun dial-up network service on a gsm phone using blueman Actual results: Blueman displays a message that the modem connection is available via NetworkManager but no Wireless Modem connection is available in NM Expected results: The connection should be available in NM an it should be able to connect. Additional info: This worked perfect before the update of NM and ModemManager
NetworkManager includes built-in Bluetooth DUN support. You'll want to set up a DUN connection via the bluetooth icon's "Set up new device..." wizard. After you've completed that step, if the connection does not appear in the NM menu, we'll want to grab some logs to figure out what's going on.
I have done exactly that but no device shows up in NM. As I said it worked fine prior to the update (also reverting back to previous NM and MM made it work again..) Below is the log..

Ok, this shows that ModemManager is finding the modem correctly, but the configuration that NM requires (that the bluetooth wizard is supposed to write to GConf) somehow isn't getting set correctly. Any chance you can take a screenshot of the applet menu for me after you've completed the bluetooth wizard? And you are using the gnome-bluetooth icon to set up the device, *not* blueman, correct?

You're going to need to use the gnome-bluetooth applet, not blueman. I have no idea what blueman is doing underneath, but it's not really a supported way to interact with NetworkManager. NM has the functionality that you're looking for, so if there's a problem with NM or nm-applet's handling of DUN, then we can try to fix this bug. But otherwise, it's a blueman bug. The nm-applet GConf data is an implementation detail that's not public API, and that's what blueman is modifying. The NM gnome-bluetooth plugin is the supported way of configuring PAN and DUN connections. See: http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2009/07/10/unwire-with-networkmanager/ If that procedure fails to work, then we can investigate the issue. Otherwise, if that procedure does work, then it's a Blueman bug.
The connection with gnome-bluetooth works (I will contact the developers of blueman). Having said that, gnome-bluetooth's functionality is a joke compared to blueman. It should be replaced by blueman.

It should be replaced by blueman. Apart from the jibe at gnome-bluetooth, file bugs against gnome-bluetooth upstream (http://bugzilla.gnome.org) if you're missing specific functionality in gnome-bluetooth.
Bastien, my comment was not intended as a jibe...my appologies.. I do install many desktops for normal users.. and what they want is functionality and now..no matter what is providing it..The concept of filing a bug in order to receive this functionality is an alien one to them and is not likely to happen. After all, the main goal is to make linux/gnome popular, at least this is how I see it...
