BLUETOOTH, GENTOO, NOKIA

I needed an internet connection to be avialable when i'm away from my home and my broadband. I have a Nokia XpressMusic cell phone with GPRS modem onboard, i bought a Bluetooth dongle ( mint MBA-1820). Let's get started

First i followed instructions on this site to the point of pppoe configuration, because there's where broblems begun. Kernel recompilation went smoothly and after some time i could pair my phone with gentoo laptop.
But now pppoe - first thing is to remember, to recompile kernel with ppp options enabled (basicly i compiled all of them into the kernel). then
# emerge -atv ppp
but afterwards i couldn't start the connection.
Then This thread allowed me to connect. Important stuff is a login data from your cell phone operator, like login, password, dns etc.

ATD*99***1#

This bit tells the phone to start internet connection and share it

Gentoo notes

Today I switched from 2.6.25 to 2.6.27 kernel, compiling it with bluetooth drivers for my dongle. To my deepest suprise - after rebooting, the X-server was not up. After some googling I came up with a solution:
# emerge -atv nvidia-drivers
Remember to rebuild your drivers when changing kernel!!

AFM Curves

That's what I've been doing for some time. AFM Curves 24h/day. Nice ;)

SSH

Recently I was trying to find a quicker way of deploying paswordless login on remote host. I came up with this:

$ ssh user@remote test -d \~/.ssh \|\| mkdir \~/.ssh \; cat \>\> \~/.ssh/authorized_keys <~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

It made things easier :)
