Hello,
Till recently (before upgrading to Fedora 13), I had trouble configuring my system to connect to the Internet via my cell phone(with EDGE) and bluetooth. It wouldn't work properly. I had tweaked around with config files. In Fedora 13, I checked the option to "Connect to Internet with this phone" and selected my provider and there it was. No more tweaking!!

This might be a one off thing for many. But when I saw this work out of the box , I was really excited and I wanted to thank Fedora(GNOME and many others I guess).

Thanks again,

Your post is a refreshing change from all of the "Fedora doesn't work!" posts. Thank you.

Because I don't like BT, I use USB.
Even easier. Just plug it in and dont even press anything. NM goes through its thing automatically with ZERO user intervention.

Oh, did I mention that its been this way since before FC6? ;)
