Hi Denis, Piotr,

I have just submitted a patch. Piotr, you probably should add your sign-off on 
it, as about half of it came directly from you.

I am still a little bit confused about ofono_gprs_cid_activated(). As far as I 
can see only atmodem calls it. No other driver does that.
The flow of user calling create-internet-context and activate-context seems to 
work fine with my patch.

I am not sure if a context is automatically created. I can see that the sim 
card has a few profiles, and the user can select which APN to use, start/stop 
ip network, etc.

Let me know if what I coded is ok. I am happy to make changes as required.
Thanks.

Lukasz
