Neo Freerunner tips

• Freerunner Owned since 15 October 2008 (UTC)

GPS SIM: UK O2 Pay-As-You-Go SIM did not work, replaced with Orange PAYG SIM which works fine.

Using FDOM distribution based on Om2008.9

Bluetooth networking: using LM Technologies USB dongle on OpenSuse 11.0 server 'foosrv'

Here's a good article on bluetooth security: [1]

NB. PIN's in Bluetooth can be longer than 4 digit ! Ensure 'passkey' (PIN) settings are consistent in hcid.conf on neo and on server.

On foosrv:

edit /etc/bluetooth/hicd.conf change pscan disable to pscan enable

edit /etc/sysconfig/bluetooth add PAND_START="yes" at the to of the PAND section

Scan should detect neo's bluetooth address eg
foosrv:~ # hcitool scan
  Scanning ...
	00:06:6E:00:99:00	neo(0)
foosrv:~ # /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
foosrv:~ # ps -ef | grep pand
  root      2210     1  0 00:33 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/pand --listen --role NAP
foosrv:~ # tail -f /var/log/messages

- should see hcid messages (eg foosrv hcid[2190]: Default passkey agent (:1.27, /org/kde/kbluetooth_1234) registered)

On neo:

Start bluetooth via Configuration menu

root@om-gta02:~# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
	00:1B:59:01:02:03	Blue-foosrv(0)
root@om-gta02:~# pand --connect 00:1B:59:01:02:03 --role PANU
#see /var/log/messages - see line like
  pand[1650]: Connecting to 00:1B:59:01:02:03 
  pand[1650]: bnep0 connected
#Configure IP of neo's bluetooth network interface (bnep0) as 192.168.0.102:
root@om-gta02:~# ip a add 192.168.0.102/24 dev bnep0

On foosrv:

If connection successful you should see line in /var/log/messages like pand[17965]: New connection from 00:01:02:03:04:05 at bnep0

#  list connections to pand daemon:
foosrv:~ # pand --list
  bnep0 00:06:6E:00:99:00 NAP       # shows neo's bd_address
#  set up iptables for forwarding as instructions for [[USB_Networking]]
root@foosrv:~# iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24
root@foosrv:~# sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
#  Configure IP of foosrv's bluetooth network interface (bnep0) as 192.168.0.100:
root@foosrv:~# ip addr add 192.168.0.100/24 dev bnep0
#  Network ssh connection:
root@foosrv:~# ssh root@192.168.0.102
root@foosrv:~# scp root@192.168.0.102:/tmp/xx ~/xx     #   transfer files etc

WiFi Networking

to be continued. Hint: Mofi doesn't seem to like punctuation or special characters in the WPA passphrase - if you are having connection failures try setting to simple text phrase 'Mary had a little lamb' or something...
