AKU 3.5 - Internet Sharing & Bluetooth PAN

Anyone know what the status is for getting Bluetooth PAN working under Internet Sharing in AKU 3.5?

I know that it's been reported before, but I just thought a new thread would be good to have for updates on this issue.

Like many other people, I get the "Cannot Connect" error message when trying to use this.
"Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To change your connection settings, tap Settings."
This happens immediately after pressing the "Connect" button, so you really don't even need a BT client for getting past this stage of the bug.

I think one of the biggest reasons for this is that it seems like the Bluetooth PAN profile doesn't exist on the system at all. I can't find it when I'm discovering services on the Apache, I can't find a Bluetooth network adapter under the "Network Adapters" tab in the WiFi Control Panel applet, and there's no mention of it anywhere in Bluetooth Settings.

I took a look around on the Xda-Developers forums, and it looks like they have this working under Crossbow, and maybe even AKU 3.5. It might also be interesting to see how they got the A2DP hack to work in the early days of AKU 2. In fact, it would even be great if we could get native BT DUN working with a hack similar to the A2DP one.

Anyway, I'd like to help in any tests anyone would like to run to fix this. I have two Bluetooth enabled computers; one using a Microsoft BT Stack on a 1.2 USB dongle, and another using the Widcomm stack on an integrated 2.0 EDR module.
