Dan I see for the archives that you are working on the GSM support in Network Manager. I work for Hutchison UK (three network) and we are keen for better Linux support of mobile broadband modems. I Have access to a number of dongles and PCs with embedded cards, and can assist with some level of testing.
As to the question on the current signal level received with at+csq this and many other commands are standardised in the 3GPP standard. 3GPP TS 27.007 AT command set for User Equipment (UE) available here: http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/27007.htm Here is the section on +CSQ: Signal quality +CSQ Table 64: +CSQ action command syntax Command Possible response(s) +CSQ +CSQ: <rssi>,<ber> *+CME ERROR: <err>* +CSQ=? +CSQ: (list of supported <rssi>s),(list of supported <ber>s) * * *Description* Execution command returns received signal strength indication <rssi> and channel bit error rate <ber> from the MT. Refer subclause 9.2 for possible <err> values. Test command returns values supported as compound values. *Defined values* <rssi>: 0 ‑113 dBm or less 1 ‑111 dBm 2...30 ‑109... ‑53 dBm 31 ‑51 dBm or greater 99 not known or not detectable <ber> (in percent): 0...7 as RXQUAL values in the table in TS 45.008 [20] subclause 8.2.4 99 not known or not detectable As to the current dongles we mostly are using the Huawei models E220, E169 E169g these work with the usb_modeswitch program. Are you incorporating this functionality? -- Stuart Ward M +44 7782325143
