Hello there !
This article explains you 'how to connect to the internet with your bluetooth and mobile' When you are using XFCE Window Manager.If you don't use XFCE window manager than it's better follow this article [Link] because it's easy and it's bluetooth files will take small space.

Note :
I am using Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 With XFCE Window Manager
I suggest you to create a save file at-least 512 MB because blueman+python .pet will take big space

Step 1 :
install following pet and Reboot

http://hotfile.com/dl/117232563/c197fe0/python26.pet.html 

Step 2 : 
You may get error saying 'failed to apply network setting' simply press OK
select menu go to setting and select wm switcher, select jwm and press Restart X

Step 3 :
in 'jwm' right click select utility and open 'roxterm'
and copy and paste following code

#!/bin/sh
dbus-uuidgen --ensure &
dbus-daemon --system
modprobe bluetooth
modprobe l2cap
modprobe rfcomm
modprobe btusb
/usr/local/sbin/hciconfig hci0 up
/usr/local/sbin/hciconfig hci0 class 0x3e0100
mknod -m 666 /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 0
/usr/local/sbin/bluetoothd
mkdir /root/a
hcitool scan
blueman-applet

If you get error 'failed to apply network settings' than again press OK and you will find bluetooth manager icon as per picture shown below ..

click to enlarge

if you dont get that icon than close roxterm in which you pasted above code and open new roxterm and type lxtask and search for blueman-applet if you find it than right click and kill it than redo this step

Step 4 :
now click on that icon and select search and pair your mobile device
after pairing you can follow same steps as this article [Link] From STEP 3
