sup people… i got a new phone huawei u7517… same as t mobile tap… but i’m in costa rica… anyway… i cant use it using usb cause it doesn’t switch to modem… so i bought a bluetooth dongle and cant use dial up networking with it (windows works both usb and BT ok)

i tried using blueman but DUN just work with network manager 0.8 which couldn’t find… and tried compiling it --enable-hal for using it with network manager 0.7 but no luck… blueman connects ok but network manager doesn’t see it (/dev/rfcomm0)

Does anyone know if theres some workaround or if i have to go back to windows :sarcastic: (i don’t want that!!!)

thanks

isaac
