Network Manager, Blueman

Hi,

I've just started using Arch Linux and I've been able to work through most problems I've encountered up until I came across this one.

I'm trying to connect my phone by bluetooth and then access my phones' internet connection. I am using blueman to connect the phone, and this seems to work ok, I right click my phone in the device window and select network access point or one of the serial ports and they report being successful and the connection starts up on my phone.

I try to ping 209.85.229.106 (google.com) and the terminal says Network is unreachable.

I am using Networkmanager too and I've tried adding a Mobile Broadband connection (GSM) using my providers APN settings but this connection does not show up when I left click to connect to a network.

Any assistance would be gratefully received. I have tried many Wikis and HowTos.

Thanks

According to this:
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/MobileBroadband
NetworkManager won't support bluetooth DUN until 0.8.1. It says 'late 2009' so I guess it can't be long now.
