The old way I performed this was by using pand with the following options: PAND_OPTIONS=" --secure --listen --master --role NAP --devup=/etc/bluetooth/pan/dev-up" Moving forward I want to use dbus commands and configure the NAP the *right* way. Here is my current understanding from the wiki you can completely set up everything via dbus or you can configure the basic settings using .service files (/etc/bluetooth) and the network.conf file. Here is what I think I should do: 1.) Set up a service file: [Bluetooth Service] Identifier=network Name=Network service Description=Bluetooth Personal Area Network service Autostart=true 2.) It looks like the network.conf default setting are good for what I want to do. 3.) Issue dbus commands to start NAP. This is were I'm confused and NEED HELP, I'm not sure what all needs to be done here to allow a PANU device to connect to my NAP device. Once I have the connection (bnepX) I know what to do, just set up a bridge (pan0) and set up any forwarding/NAT/firewall rules using standard iptables/masq commands against the pan0. I believe the example on the wiki (http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/NetworkConnections) details how to have a PANU device connect to a pre-existing NAP but I do not believe it details how to set up the NAP which is really what I want to accomplish.
