| − | == Detailed Description ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The market is full of netbooks, umpcs and notebooks, people expect to connect everywhere also when no wifi connection is available.
| + | |
| − | Internet keys and mobile phones (tethering) via usb cable are easy to use thanks to network manager, but using a mobile phone as modem totally wireless (so via bluetooth) is a bit hard: you need to bind manually the phone via terminal, you need to edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and configure gnome-ppp (from fedora 9 packages)...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For example, ubuntu users do this (works in fedora too) [http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php?topic=111984.msg734389]
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It would be nice to have all this stuff integrated in networkmanager and gnome-bluetooth. I don't think it's hard to code.. I'm not a developer, but you just have to create an rfcomm device and use it as legacy modem...

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Fedora NOW is the right choice for netbooks and mobile devices (thanks to the hard work in kernel and networkmanager) so why not improve the user experience with this comfort?
