For the NetworkManager side, porting to Bluez5 requires a couple things yet to finish: 1) DUN support: bluez5 makes this incredibly difficult because the DUN serial channel is no longer a kernel device and thus can't be used with pppd, can only be seen by one process, thus we pretty much have to cut Bluez5 out of the DUN path entirely. That's being worked on slowly. 2) a behavior change in NetworkManager to show all PAN/DUN capable devices immediately, not just ones that have been configured during pairing. This requires some updates to the GUI apps and some additional changes to NetworkManager to prompt the user to configure the device upon first-use, instead of at pair-time.
