Bluetooth / Bluez: No reply to ping over bnepX interface

0

I have trialed to use Network, NAP profiles on Bluetooth.

On Host, xUbuntu 13.04 I have followed as here.

This Host or XUbuntu machine is behind proxy & runs on virtual machine.

It is installed with Bluetooth version 4.101

On embedded board, ping 173.194.112.211 responds as below:

On embedded board, ifconfig shows as below:

On embedded board, I issue command: ping -I bnep0 173.194.112.211
This is google IP address by the way :)

After long time, I press Ctrl + c, it gives this:

PING 173.194.112.211 (173.194.112.211): 56 data bytes
^C
--- 173.194.112.211 ping statistics ---
541 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

On embedded board, I also trialed changing bnep0 inet addr to: 10.122.83.128.
For sure no one has this IP address.

It did not work...

hcidump -X shows these packets when I ping, not other times.

I configured bnep0 network interface on xUbuntu 13.04 with local IP address and it workded :)

# ifconfig bnep0 192.168.1.3 up

I also guess that command route also helped.

The ping works, however, there is packet loss...
