Bluetooth PAN profile on WM5 PPC with MS Bluetooth stack cyberco 10-17-2006

I'm trying to get ad-hoc networking between three HTC TyTN WM5 PPC
devices, either via Bluetooth or WiFi. I figured that setting up a WiFi
ad hoc network using OpenNetCF would be the only way to go.
Unfortunately the Bluetooth PAN profile is missing (!) from the
Microsoft Bluetooth stack (which is becoming the default stack on WM5
devices). But then I read about AKU 3.0 supporting the Bluetooth PAN
profile, which is offering exactly what I need. AKU 3.0 devices use the
PAN profile for Internet Connection Sharing (it replaces the older
'modem link').

Now the question is, how do I get the AKU 3.0 on my HTC TyTN (if
possible at all)?

A related question I have is whether such is PAN consists of a
master/slave setting or of a network of more than 2 devices. The latter
is what I'm looking for.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Bluetooth is device-to-device *only*. You can't make it look like a WiFi ad
hoc network.

Forget about *how* you're trying to do this and tell us *what* you're trying
to do...

AFAIK the PAN support in AKU 3.0 is only the host part, that is for sharing
the phone connection with another device or computer, I don't believe it
supports the other features of PAN profile such as group networking etc.

With regards getting a particular AKU update for your device, you'll need to
contact the manufacturer, only they can tell you if and when such a ROM
update would be made available.
