 When fsogsmd is finished, will it be responsible for the ppp

Yes.

 In that case, putting energy into fsogsmd sounds good to me; thanks!

Happy new year!

FWIW, I can confirm that my observations of GPRS, which I announced as
a second ActivateContext not working, are actually compatible with
things stop working after a DeactivateContext.

 i.e. ActivateContext, DeactivateContext, ActivateContext again.

 For me - on Debian, and using openmoko-panel-plugin to do the
 activation and deactivation - the first ActivateContext and
 DeactivateContext are fine, but the second ActivateContext call fails.
 The openmoko-panel-plugin logs say that there was no reply to the
 ActivateContext call.  The frameworkd logs have no trace at all of the
 second ActivateContext call, even with logging level set to DEBUG.

 I'm wondering if this is just me, or just Debian, or affecting
 everyone?  All thoughts appreciated.

i'm running SHR-U, and i'd noticed someting similar, and done a little 
digging, and it seems to be FSO-related.  i summarised my problem and the 
digging i'd done on the FSO list last month, see 
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/smartphones-userland/2009-November/002201.html
 
, but i got no replies.

i'm not sure what to do about it.  possibly having more people log their 
experiences in the FSO tracker at 
http://trac.freesmartphone.org/ticket/474 would help.  once i get home 
after Christmas, and can bring up GPRS without paying humungous US roaming 
charges, i'll try to do that.

it's not fatal, but it's the last big thing in between me and a 
fully-functional 'moko.  it'd be nice to get it resolved.

I solved the problem by just having a script that periodically
checks that everything works and restarts GSM chip and ogsmd in case
of problems. You can read more about this setup at
