On a per-driver basis if the modem has some way of reporting it. Ie, for Gobi devices we'd check with QMI for capabilites, for other modems like the multi-mode Verizon/Sprint devices that do CDMA+HSDPA we'd either user GCAP or we'd just hardcode it based on the GMM response or USB IDs. > I am assuming here that the ModemCapabilities will be different to the > CurrentCapabilities only when the modem implements the Firmware API.

I think we need to keep them separate for now; the modems I'm thinking of here are ones like the Verizon UMW190 and USB1000 and maybe even world-mode phones.
