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.
Like UMTS vs. GSM, EVDO and 1x are separate networks and technologies
and have separate registration state. You can even be roaming on
EVDO while in your home 1x network. Handle that.
Rework the MMCallbackInfo callback invocation.
Always use g_error_literal() where it makes sense.
Replace sleep() calls, with timeouts to not block the whole MM.
Instead of vague "send something, wait something" the responses are now
analyzed by (overridable) parsers. Makes all the modem implementations much
easier since each caller knows without any code whether the call succeeded
or failed.
Another thing that makes modem code simpler (and the whole thing more robust),
is the queueing of sent commands. Each queued command has a command and a
callback which is quaranteed to get called, even if sending failed.
Define and implement error reporting.
