Bluetooth PAN not assigning IP to laptop/ipad etc on HTC HD2/Leo

[GoogleCodeExporter]

HTC HD2

Hyperdroid GBX v10, but tried multiple different roms and can never get it to 
work
What version of wireless tether are you using?

Wireless tether v 2.07

1.Load up wireless tether ( bluetooth mode enabled)
2.Enable Wireless tether
3.Pair with laptop
4.Laptop says it cannot get an IP
5.Wireless tether log says :  error : SIOCSIFFLAGS ( Cannot assign requested 
address)

I've tried several different ip ranges from the wireless tether config and get 
the same response.
Manually assigning an IP on my laptop still doesnt work.

Id expect it to connect as normal.

Please provide any additional information below.

Bluetooth HWaddr looks wrong?

I have this exact problem on my incredible running CM7.  (see issue 900)

There has to be something wrong with the HWaddr on the bluetooth interface, but 
I'm not sure if this would cause the SIOCSIFFLAGS.  (I wouldn't be surprised)

I have verified the problem is the incorrect MAC address.  I found a patch for 
CM7 which corrects the MAC on the incredible.  

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18413-bluetooth-mac-address-incorrect/

I managed to get the patch into a custom boot image, and the bluetooth tether 
works.

Tytung's v9 beta kernel now support showing the correct MAC address but the 
error : SIOCSIFFLAGS ( Cannot assign requested address)
still persists with both my iPad and Laptop.

Tytung_r9 beta kernel only support a fake Bluetooth MAC address because we 
cannot get a REAL Bluetooth MAC address on HD2.

Will a fake BT address (43:29:B0:XX:XX:XX, e,g,: 43:29:B0:24:84:F3) cause any 
problem?
I mean is there any rule required for BT address?
Thanks.

Yes, 43:29:B0:XX:XX:XX causes the problem.
Tytung_r9 kernel uses IEEE Standards 00:23:76:XX:XX:XX for HTC. -- 
http://standards.ieee.org/cgi-bin/ouisearch?00-23-76

Then Bluetooth PAN is working well.
