[Ubuntu-BD] connect via bluetooth

[Murtoza]

To configure internet in ubuntu via bluetooth, make sure the bluetooth
device is connected in pc and bluetooth is already turned on in your mobile.
Then open the terminal in ubuntu and do the followings.

First scan for your phone, does Ubuntu detect your phone or not via
bluetooth. It may ask your passwords.
 sudo hcitool scan


It should give result like following :
Scanning ...
 00:11:34:BO:EE:FF gp

Here *00:11:34:BO:EE:FF* is the Phone's address. It is different according
to mobile. Yours must be different. And gp is the phone name.

Now copy the phone's address and edit etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf file.

sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf

Make the file as follows. Just delete the *ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PHONE* and paste
the phone's address here.

 rfcomm0 {

device ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PHONE; # You should paste the phone's address here.
channel 1;
comment "Write the phone name";

}

Now run the following two commands in terminal.

 sudo sdptool add --channel=1 OPUSH

sudo rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PHONE 1


Now open the /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf file.

sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

Make the file as follows.

options {
       autoinit yes;
       security auto;
       pairing multi;
       passkey "1234";
}

device {
       name "%h-%d";
       class 0x000100;
       iscan enable; pscan enable;
       discovto 0;
       lm accept;
       lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}


Now run the following command. It will create a new file named gpinternet in
/etc/ppp/peers location.

sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/gpinternet

Make the file as follows.

 /dev/rfcomm0 460800 connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-gpinternet'

crtscts
modem -detach
noccp
defaultroute
usepeerdns
noauth
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
noipdefault

Then create another file named chat-gpinternet in the /etc/ppp location.

 sudo gedit /etc/ppp/chat-gpinternet

And make the file as follows.

'' ATZ OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","gpinternet"

OK "ATD*99***1#"

CONNECT ''

This the configuration file according to your mobile operator. here
gpinternet is the access point and *99***1# is the phone number. This
configuration will only work for the mobile operator "Grameen Phone" of
Bangladesh. If you are using another operator then you have to take the
access point and phone number form the mobile operator.

Every thing is done. Now just run the following command to connect internet
via bluetooth by mobile.

*sudo pppd call gpinternet*


For first time, you need to give pass key both in mobile and pc. Now enjoy
internet.

Every time you wanna connect to internet after reboot the pc, you need to
run the command *sudo pppd call gpinternet* in terminal.

you may also need the following command to reconnect in internet

*sudo rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PHONE 1*
