A panel for WWAN / Mobile / cellular
At GUADEC 2018 we discussed that a dedicated panel for modem / sim card management would make sense. It should include things like
-
allow to select modem (when multiple modems are available) -
Allow to select which modems to bring online automatically (e.g. ask for PIN) -
Allow to select which network connection to use (currently under "Network") -
provider/network selection (automatic or a fixed provider) -
pin / puk handling -
allow to change pin -
allow to enter pin to unlock modem (via gcr system-prompter?) -
allow to enter puk after too many failed retries (via gcr system-prompter?)
-
-
whether to send a caller id -
network handling (auto / 2G / 3G / 4G )
Maybe not everything needs to be done on the first round. If we want to bring Modems online by default we need something in g-s-d to do so (triggering ModemManager).
(maybe later on prepaid card handling (e.g. like https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/projects/ppm/)
It was said that mockups alerady exist but I couldn't find any on the wiki so I'm adding an issue here so we can track things.
