I still don't believe that it works. Suppose we're attached and registered. Now we get an indication that we're in 'searching' state. set attach to true, compare with stored value (true). Ah, don't do anything -> not good. You also emit a signal that outright lies as to the current state. Suppose we're registered and just the cellid / lac / technology changes. This function still gets triggered and does a funky dance of emitting signals and calling into the driver to attach / detach. > > If either we already knew that we were in that state then there's > nothing to do.

This part is fine, but lets make it easy to understand, e.g. do all of this inside gprs_netreg_update. > > If the notification indicates we were detached we will also need to > reset all current contexts to inactive here, originally I did this in > the driver.

Resetting Powered in the core leads to strange situations where after coming from an overseas trip you'd need to reset Powered back to on. I would find that annoying. The nice thing is I don't think we need to play the attach/detach dance. We can take advantage of the netreg atom's information. If we're roaming there, we will be roaming on GPRS as well. If we're registered there, then we should try to attach. > > An unrelated thing: you keep the allowed cid range in the core and > only remember the min and max cid.

You're absolutely correct that the syntax allows this. My decision here was mostly a matter of prudence. I doubt any device actually uses a non- contiguous cid range. If/once we do find one that does, we can add a new set_sparse_range function (or something) in the core to take care of it.
