“”The features that I feel closest to this time, and
that have affected me, are the network manager improvements in
mobile broadband, which are pretty extensive,” Frields told
InternetNews.com. “Not only do we have a provider database that
makes it easy to tether your phone to your laptop and get online,
but also we’ve got functions to allow use of newer EVDO cards and
mobile USB interfaces that are out there.”

“In particular, Frields said Bluetooth-based tethering received
attention in Fedora 12, to the point where he now considers it to
be trouble-free and “foolproof.” He explained that users with
Bluetooth connectivity on their mobile phones will simply see their
device pop up in the Fedora 12 network manager list as a selectable
item, enabling them to easily tether it to their PC for Internet
connectivity.”
