I am apart of the effort to get Android working on the Nokia N900
(NITdroid). It has a 3G modem, but doesn't communicate with AT
commands, and (obviously) does not have a RIL shared library written
for it. It is a GPRS (on UMTS) connection. However instead of writing
a RIL that will communicate with phonet (which is a network interface
that communicates with the phonet/isi modem, and has its own
protocol), and having to learn how to communicate directly over it, at
the moment we are working on making Android work with ofono (including
at some point writing a RIL that will communicate with ofono using d-
bus).

The modem is powered and network registered by ofono, and when you
start the data connection it gives you a network interface - gprs0.
(And then you make sure the gprs0 interface is configured (eg.
ifconfig gprs0 gprs.ip.address.here) and add a default route in the ip
tables - route add default dev gprs0)

When we make ofono communicate with RILD, this will obviously not
matter - so I was just looking for a temporary solution while this is
happening - since it is quite annoying have a lot of apps (including
built-in ones) refuse to work properly because the ConnectivityManager
reports no connection.
