and on the client:

# ifconfig bnep0 192.168.7.2

If you use the 192.168.7.x network locally, substitute other suitable IP

addresses. Test the connection by using ping to verify the connection from

each end. Use ifconfig to display the interface configuration:

# ifconfig bnep0

bnep0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:98:24:15:6D

You may not want to specify the GN host’s Bluetooth address on the client.

By default, pand registers the GN or NAP service with the master host’s SDP

server. To make the client find its access point via SDP, give the client the

following command line:

# pand --role PANU --search --service GN

Omitting the service argument causes pand to search for the NAP by default.

Specifying the

--persist option to the client’s pand line causes it to search

for the GN whenever it is not connected. Using this option, you can config-

ure a machine to automatically connect to the network whenever it comes in

range of the master machine.

To automate the IP address configuration, use the methods provided by

your Linux distribution. On Red Hat, this means creating suitable scripts to

go into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. On Debian, you should edit /etc/

network/interfaces. The BNEP network interfaces are not present at boot

time, but they will be initialized by the hotplug utility when a BNEP connec-

tion is made. For further details of this configuration, read the manpages on

your system for ifup, interfaces (Debian only), and hotplug.

The ideal configuration is to give the GN master a static IP address and

require the clients to use DHCP. If your DHCP server is running on the GN

master, you may need to run a command to cause it to take note of the new

network interface to listen on. This should be possible through your sys-

tem’s network configuration.

Bridging interfaces

As you will discover if you attempt to connect more than one client machine

to your host, each connection is given its own network interface: bnep0,

bnep1, bnep2 and so on. Not only is it a nuisance to specify multiple
