If E2NAP:0 is received during a connection attempt the connection
attempt has failed or will fail. So stop polling for connection
success for another 50 seconds and abort the connection attempt
immediately. Also moves the E2NAP request call a bit earlier to
ensure that no E2NAP unsolicited messages are lost.
It's useful to let distros and admins set policy differently for device
information (for support, inventory, etc) than for actually controlling
the device like PIN/PUK unlocks.
When the support is complete, use --with-polkit to enable
PolicyKit support. It's not there yet, but this commit adds an
authorization provider framework which will be extended to allow
hooking into PolicyKit.
If the modem echoed commands by default (since we may not have
initialized the modem yet), the echoed command would confuse
the PIN check reply parser.
Normally this would get done by the prober, but if the device
has a PIN enabled it'll reject almost all commands so the +CPMS?
in the prober will fail. Thus we have to do it after we've unlocked
the device.
Even just walking sysfs for driver and parent devices takes
time for ports we know we'll never use, so take a short-cut
and save some startup time. This reduces the startup
overhead to some 15%.
Some devices won't get to the initialization stage where we send
CMEE=1 (for numeric error codes) before they return some errors,
so handle the string representation of CME error codes too.
Clients can check the property to determine lock/unlock status and thus
unlock the modem before trying to connect if required.
Bits of the patch by dcbw (see the bug).
Some cards (Novatel S720 for example) can take a long time to start
a data call if the device isn't activated on the network or the
signal strength is low.
Some modems key the AT+CSS? response off their 1X state, so if the
modem has EVDO service but no 1X service, AT+CSS? will provide incorrect
registration state information and the registration checking will
end too early. Allow modems that can handle more specific registration
checking to skip the AT+CSS? part.
