Hello again everyone! As I mentioned in my last email to devel@lists.laptop.org, there is a real need for a GSM/CDMA usb modem support in our region since thats the most common/available service in rural locations.
In my last email I proposed to the OLPC guys to include the "option" module to their builds, _but_ theres another problem concerning sugar connections management. Currently it is not allowed to manage non-802.11 connections. I checked the code at jarabe/model/network.py and I think it needs the proper extensions/changes to at least be able to store other connections types. Would a patch that extends the allowed connection types be accepted in the 0.84 branch (that will be shipped with F11) ? I say "at least" because this would allow other applications that interact with NM (ie via Dbus) to configure/set this device letting us postpone the need to extend the Sugar UI itself. I already wrote a prototype app for this that is actually working on the Gnome environment [1]. What do you guys think?
