Denis,

Thanks for the reply.
Initially we wanted to use Ofono for our Ublox driver. The Hardware has only

Solution was to either write new ublox driver based on serial or modify 
existing. For which we do
Not have much time.

We had PPP earlier working, hence we thought of working on it  integrating it.

Our main intention is to perform network management using ConnMan on WiFi and 
cellular.



Effort wise, it would be far easier to write the modem driver for your 
modem than mess with PPP integration into ConnMan.  Writing an oFono 
driver for a modem shouldn't take more than a day or two.  There are 
plenty of examples to study and the logic is pretty similar across the 
various manufacturers.

 Hello All,

 Has anybody has tried integrating PPPD with ConnMan ?
 Can we use PPPD instead of Ofono along with ConnMan ?


Nobody has ever tried.  Integrating pppd is actually quite complex. 
oFono has a PPP stack, integrating that into ConnMan would be far easier, 
though not sure why you would want to?
