https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/44874

I have just installed Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 on a Asus ee 900. It does not start up with the Notebook desktop, but that was not my primary question ( but how do I chang to the Notebook desktop?).

The wireless work just fine, but I want to be able to connect to internet through  bluetooth dongle and my Nokia E66 using GPRS or 3G when I am on the road.

I just insert my bluetooth dongle and a bluetooth icon just pops up (very nice!). I am able to connect to my phone and browse the files on it, but I cannot find out how to use it as a modem.

I have been in the network tool ppp0 Properties and tried to enable this interface, but as soon as I tick the box to enable the interface, the OK button grays out.
