    I wish to use my Sony Ericsson phone (K850i) to connect to the internet. I've got a generic USB Bluetooth adaptor from eBay (as recommended in viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3525 ) and my Aspire One is running Linux.

    While various parts of this combination are mentioned in passing on the forums I can't find solid information. This will be my first adventure in Linux hardware matters so I need my hand holding here!

    Can anyone assist or point me in the right direction?

    Many thanks,
    Geoff
