I guess I wouldn't care about the details as long as it works and is half-way convenient.
I think you can say to both methods tethering, but bt-dun and bt-ppp (spp) is in my eyes classic tethering (serial) and bt-pan (network) is for me forwarding packages to another network.

If so, that might explain my problems. But then I don't understand why it worked years ago.
This means pan want work and your linux pc sees the N900 as a phone whereas when network is enabled the N900 is then recognized like a PC. This option should not interfere with bt-dun.
