Is anyone working on trying to get Duns or a Pan connection working?  Using the XO through my phone would be very nice when I'm not hear a wifi connection.

I suppose the first challenge is finding a usb-bluetooth adapter that will work on the XO

I'm curious about this too.

I have a Treo 755p and currently use a Palm app that lets me connect via the sync and charge USB cord. The app on the computer side is Windows only though.

I got my bluetooth adapter yesterday so hopefully this weekend I'll get some time to mess around with it.  I'm hoping that bluez stuff is in the yum repository.

I do allot with linux but have never setup bluetooth so this should be interesting.

I tried a bluetooth mouse,. and worked fine.

oooh  good to know
what kind of mouse was it?

I wanna use the mac mouse/keyboard but I'm afraid to buy it until I know it will work

And a bluetooth mouse. 

Anyone know how it will work?

Someone pointed to an article that describes how to hook use your Treo as a modem for your XO using the USB sync cable.

I've installed the PalmOS software on my Treo and corresponding files on the XO, but I haven't yet tried it out.

I'd also like to know. I've searched on many forums for help but have found nothing. I'm under the impression the the kernel must be recompiled to include b/t support. Its a pretty simple task, but for someone inexperienced with Linux such as myself, this has been a challange. Once I get a working kernel I will gladly post.

Also.. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Support_FAQ states bluetooth is not supported

personally, i suspect the "bluetooth" mouse, wasn't.

most wireless keyboards and mice are not bluetooth.
