I found it much simpler to just tether using Bluetooth; the steps I did on my Pearl are as follows:

1. Install bluez & ppp
2. Set up rfcomm & pair my laptop to my BB
/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
Code:
rfcomm1 {
bind yes;
device 00:11:22:33:44:55;
channel 3;
}
(replace the device value with your phone's MAC address) then run rfcomm bind 1
3. Create two pppd scripts:
/etc/ppp/peers/bberry
Code:
rfcomm1
115200
debug
noauth
defaultroute
usepeerdns
connect-delay 10000
user 925555555@vzw3g.com
show-password
crtscts
lock
lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-echo-interval 65535
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -s -f /etc/ppp/peers/bberry_chat'
(replace the user with your phone number)
/etc/ppp/peers/bberry_chat
Code:
'' ATDT#777 CONNECT
4. Dial out using pppd: pppd call bberry

I can verify it works (I'm using it now); I did it under Gentoo but it should be distro independent. If you're using a different model, just be sure to determine which channel to set to using hcitool browse. Look for something like:
Code:
Service RecHandle: 0x10002
Service Class ID List:
  "Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
  "Generic Networking" (0x1201)
Protocol Descriptor List:
  "L2CAP" (0x0100)
  "RFCOMM" (0x0003)
    Channel: 3
Profile Descriptor List:
  "Dialup Networking" (0x1103)
    Version: 0x0100
I am paying for tethering, so no clue if this would score you free DUN on Verizon. Also everything compiles without any voodoo; I'm using bluez-libs & bluez-utils 3.24, and ppp 2.4.4. It didn't take me too long to setup because I did essentially the same thing with my previous phone (Moto Q). I detailed the steps more closely in a thread I posted on Qusers. You also must obviously get your kernel to work with Bluetooth, which is probably done by default on most distro's (I list the necessary modules in the thread I linked to).

Upon closer inspection, I found that I'm having the same problem as paulengel. Namely, for some reason Xlt refuses to make without error.

i am creating a google group to try and bring everyone together on this. i am leaving messages at ubuntu forums, here at blackberry forums, and other linux forums. I have seen a lot of people try to do this on many different sites. i think if we worked together we could get this working as im connected now and others can to and some cannot. id like to get this thing solved for more people. so please join the group.

Default Error making barry

I'm on Linux Mint 4.0 KDE, and the installation has gone well up to this point, but when I make barry, I get this error.

Quote:

[edit] So the problem was that Barry has released version 0.12 very recently. CVS seems to not compile correctly.

My problem now is that when running bcharge, I get this:

Does one have to pay for DUN (dial up networking) through their provider to get tethering fully working?

SUCCESS!

The Bluetooth method described above is far and away the easiest way to get tethering working in Linux.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and after about a month of trying, I was about to give up and go back to dual-booting Windows..

All I had to do was edit the config files as outlined above for my Pearl's MAC address and my phone number (of course). I had to install/compile absolutely NOTHING!!

A big THANK YOU to SDNick484!!

Default can't find modem

I can get XmBlackBerry running just find, but instead of the location of the modem, I get this:

XmBlackBerry.c:OptionPopupCallback(998) - GPRS modem device Not available


I'm running Slackware 11.0, Blackberry Pearl 7130, Sprint as a carrier. Any help figuring out what's wrong would be greatly appreciated!

I am seeing the same thing in Kubuntu 8.04 using an 8700 with OS 4.5. I'm still researching and I'll post if I find a solution.

Default Bluetooth settings for TMobile

Greetings,

Per my previous post I ran in to a blocking error with the USB cable method. I picked up a cheap USB bluetooth adapter and I now have a T-Mobile provided DUN tether working with my 8700 in Kubuntu 8.04 Linux (I'm posting this from it now)!

Here are a few things that are particular to tethering a Blackberry 8700c (unlocked from AT&T) using TMobile's service which differ from SDNick484's instructions:

First off, the steps at Blackberry Curve 8310 as Bluetooth Modem on Ubuntu Hardy « pegelinux were fantastic. I'm going to use their naming convention of gprs and gprs-connect-chat instead of bberry and bberry-chat, respectively.

For my configuration, rfcomm.conf needed to be set to use channel 0. I determined this by running:
Code:
sdptool search DUN
This told me that my phone was using channel 0 so my rfcomm bind command looked like this:
Code:
sudo rfcomm bind 0 00:11:22:33:44:55 1
Note that this is a slightly different syntax than other online instructions, but it seems to work OK.

In the gprs (bbery) ppp config file, T-Mobile does not require a username (not even a phone number) so erase the user line entirely. I also set the IP address to :169.254.1.1 which made a lot of console errors go away later.

In gprs-connect-chat (bberry-chat), the following two lines are unique to T-Mobile:

OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com","",0,0' \
OK ATD*99***1#

In my case, I had to change my phone's APN (Options -> Advanced -> TCP -> APN field) to wap.voicestream.com as well (with user and password blank because T-Moble just plain doesn't use them). This was probably only required for me because I wiped my phone when moving it from AT&T to T-Mobile. You can double-check your service book to see what your APN is set to.

Once I got that all set up right I was able to run pppd call gprs and everything was happy!

Again, it's probably easiest to use the T-Mobile specific settings with the guide I attempted to link to above as it is very complete. Thanks to everyone who posted information on how to get things working, in particular tcolar and SDNick484. If I happen to get it working through USB I'll be sure to post how I did it but for now I think Bluetooth is a perfectly fine solution.

Best of luck to those who follow,

A.C.

Default if you run into this...

Another tip (that I discovered the hard way):
If you succeed in connecting to the rfcomm device with ppp and initiating a ppp connection, but you see something like the following:
Code:
Serial connection established.
using channel 6
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/rfcomm0
sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xe4e911f9>]
rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x0 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth pap>]
No auth is possible
sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x0 <auth pap>]
rcvd [LCP ConfRej id=0x1 <magic 0xe4e911f9>
...
LCP terminated by peer
sent [LCP TermAck id=0x2]
rcvd [LCP TermAck id=0x2]
Connection terminated.
then you should try adding the following lines to your /etc/ppp/options:
auth
+pap

You will also probably want to add the following line to /etc/ppp/options
usepeerdns
(otherwise you may not be able to resolve domain names)

Default answer for Elias

Hmm. It looks like what Elias needs is similar to what I needed. Elias, try adding these lines to your /etc/ppp/options

auth
+chap
