changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if
this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report

Title:
  bluetooth network PAN fails to connect to mobile phone

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bluez

  I tried connecting to my mobile phone (Sony Ericsson w910) via bluetooth Network (PAN), and the phone reports that my computer is trying to use it as a modem and asks for permission twice in a row. After I grant permission the first time, pand  says bnep0 connected, but dhclient fails to obtain an address. After a few seconds the second request for permission on the mobile phone screen times out and the interface ceases to exist (dhclient reports "no such device"). If I grant the second request the device disappears immediately. If I tell the phone to always allow  connections without asking, pand reports "connection refused" right away. 
  The same happens if I try to use the new (dbus only) way of creating a network connection (I did so via some python script I found on the net).
  This is really quite annoying, because it worked fine for quite a long time and was a great way to get online without the dial-up emulation crap.  I'm not sure when it broke though, as I haven't needed it for about a year.
  This is on up to date intrepid btw.
