Re: [ANNOUNCE] ModemManager (for GSM and CDMA)

["Stuart Ward" <stuart ward bcs org>]

The whole point of Network Manager is that it is the integrated network access tool. Modems are largely standard. we don't need special software to access different modems. Perhaps we need a configuration strings for some modems but I see no point in having a separate tool for modems.

Equally for GSM modems these are as least as standardised as WiFi cards. So we should not need a seperate tool to manage them.

What Network Manager should show is the GSM signal strength as soon as you plug in a modem, and allow a button to select and establish the connection. Just like the WiFi selection.

Am I missing something here?
