Hello,
I'm trying to create a PAN between a laptop and a desktop computer.
I carefully followed the instructions for creating a PAN network
(http://bluez.sourceforge.net/contrib/HOWTO-PAN).
Right now I am able to connect, ending up with correct and configured "bnep0"
interfaces on both computers.
The problem is, that I can not even ping them. After a lot of tries, I figured
out, that if I put the bnep0 interface in promiscuous mode, using
ifconfig bnep0 promisc (at the NAP side)
then ICMP packets starts flowing, and the both nodes are able to ping each
other. But that's all.
On both nodes hcid & sdpd are running, bnep module is loaded, kernel version is
2.6.16 (Fedora Core 4), bluez-utils 2.15
Here is what I do:
@NAP: # pand -s -r NAP
@PANU: # pand -Q -r PANU -d NAP
@Both (after a while): # ifconfig bnep0 10.0.0.x netmask 255.255.255.0 up
@both: # ifconfig bnep0
bnep0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 11:11:11:11:11:11
inet addr:10.0.0.x Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:478 (478.0 b) TX bytes:64 (64.0 b)
Accoring to all docs I read, at this poing both nodes should be able to ping
each other. But they are not!
I don't know how important is, but just in case, here is the output of
# hciconfig hci0 -a

Right, that looks like a group address (the lowest bit is set), i.e.
valid for multicast or broadcast only. That's definitely going to get
you into trouble with Ethernet/802 addressing logic.

one of these ISSC chips again. The MAC address is bogus and as far as I
recall not valid for Ethernet. However I have no idea how to set a new
address with these chips. Try to get yourself a recent CSR based dongle.
