How I got my blackberry 8520 with tmobile working was: Install fresh 11.10 from cd. Pair phone Add DUN with wizard that launched
It worked perfectly. Then I added ppa repos for KDE 4.8, and updated. After update it still worked and there was a nice icon showing how many bars of signal I have. I was never able to get bluetooth tethering to work after upgrading to or a fresh install of 12.04. I got the same 'configuring interface' and it would fail to connect. One guy previously replied with a list of packages he installed that fixed this for him. I haven't taken time to try what he did.

Pairing Bluetooth works perfectly but when you get to the 'tick box' for 'Access the Internet using your mobile phone (DUN)' it spends a long time and finally times out without making a connection. On systems which have been upgraded to 12.04 the connection still exists in Connection Manager - when you try to connect it registers on the network but fails to complete a connection. I have tried on fresh installs, upgrades from 11.10 and even on a LiveUSB of LinuxMint Cinnamon (12.04 based). This is a major problem for me as I use this form of connection all the time I am 'mobile' as all my phones have lots of unused data every month. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/952776 Title: bluetooth tether DUN fail launch wizard Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: in 11.04, you would pair a phone via bluetooth. it would say oh this phone has dial up networking service, do you want to connect to that service? you would say ok, and it would launch a wizard. then you might select tmobile, the default plan, and hit ok. it would then add a mobile broadband connection to the plasma network widget. worked like a charm- tethering over bluetooth. now in 12.04, the phone pairs. but it never launches the wizard to select the mobile provider. and it doesnt add a mobile broadband connection. same problem in ubuntu and kubuntu. four other distros also as soon as kde is upgraded to 4.8 sometimes the wizard doesnt launch. or it adds the mobile broadband connection correctly, BUT it doesnt actually work. just says configuring interface, then fails.
