Hi,
I'm looking into using bluetooth PANs as a short-range replacement to 802.11ad hoc networking.

I'm hoping to do the following:
- when 2 devices are in range they form a PAN automatically (not having to manually make the connection using the bluetooth manager)
- then i can open up a socket and start sending / receiving data

i can do this with 802.11 ad hoc networking but cannot get the ipaq 5550 to AUTOMATICALLY connect to a PAN. i have to connect manually w/ the bluetooth manager. I've paired the 2 devices and that doesnt make a difference.

I believe automatic connections are supported in other profiles (for example you shouldnt have to manually connect to use a bluetooth headset)

Can anyone help with this?
