gsd-wwan for modems

To work making using Modems / SIM cards simpler in GNOME (gnome-control-center#132 (closed)) we'd need something that performs the action of:

  • unlocking sim cards if necessary on GNOME session startup or when SIM gets inserted (query PIN via gcr)
  • selecting the right provider if not auto
  • selecting the right access technology (2G/3G/4G/auto) as configured

This could be implemented as a g-s-d plugin which would match other components. Does this make sense? If so I could look into working on that.

cc: @aleksm @lkundrak since this has overlap with nm-applet and would interact with ModemManager.

As a start I'd work on adding the unlock sim card part until more of the settings UI is fleshed out.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
