Simple and convenient. Now, if only Nokia's own PC Suite worked as well as this app...

Maciej,

You edited main.conf on the n900 or your PC? Does that even let you turn on services? I didn't thin it did. Anyway, you don't want to do that - you need to install this package or do the steps in the maemo wiki manually. The mechanism used for DUN on the n900 is not the normal bluez one - so nothing in main.conf is going to affect it.

Phillip, I have a question regarding this package.. I have edited main.conf file in /etc/bluetooth folder to allow the start up of PAN, HID and DUN. Do I still need to have this package installed or does it simply provide an easy way to do what I did manually? (edit main.conf file).

If you used to tether your laptop through your phone to access the Internet, you need this to achieve the same with your N900. Indispensable!

No PAN support. Use the pc-connectivity-manager for that. It's pretty complicated however, so read up on it in the forums.
