Hi Denis, hi all,
I finally got the network interface working by uninstalling the network
manager and manually setting the ppp0 interface with parameters
retrieved from the modem.
good
I have another problem:
I start the network interface with activate-context python script, and
stop with deactivate-context script.
Once I call deactivate-context, I'm no more able to activate it because
ppp disconnect function calls io_disconnect method, which clears the at
channel.
The only way to resume the ppp connection is to disable and re-enable
the modem in order fot the at channel structures to be filled in again.
This is a known issue on some hardware, or may be an issue with the
modem driver for the hardware you are using. First some background:
Whenever PPP is disconnected, there are several ways to indicate a hangup:
1. Send an escape sequence to AT mode, followed by 'NO CARRIER'
2. Send a low level serial line hang-up
Many modems do both, which results in the tty port being 'closed'. This
is why you see the ppp_disconnect being triggered.
oFono understands escape sequences, so #1 is sufficient. On most
hardware we can send AT&C0 to disable #2, but some hardware still
ignores that.
Hardware that uses a high-speed interface (most anything released in the
last few years) doesn't suffer from this issue.
Is there any reason for that? Is deactivate-context the correct way to
temporary stop the network?
Yes, that is the correct way, assuming your hardware is well behaved.
Regards,
-Denis
