Actually that's what drove me to get bluetooth-pan working.

I've encountered the same disconnection problems with some old WiFi routers and CISCO WiFi USB dongle, etc. Other newer WiFi routers or PCI WiFi card works fine with N900, though.

After investigating the logs I found out it has something to do with the power-saving. However, turning off the power-saving mode of WiFi in N900 doesn't seem to completely solve the problem. I managed to resolve some of them by updating those old WiFi routers with latest firmware, but without luck with some obsolete devices.

I tried Bluetooth-DUN (as in the references), but cannot connect to my ISP through it.

I hope Bluetooth-PAN would help. Please feedback if you had tried. Thanks.
