Hi, there seems to be a lot of questions about automatically starting GSM connections, but not so much answers.. Here is a patch that solves it at least for me. It does the following: - Wait for starting of the devices until all connections are read - Check if there is any gsm connection that should be automatically started - If yes, ask for the PIN (or use the saved one) - After successful Pin entry, enable WWAN (which will in turn start the auto connections) - If there is no auto start gsm connection, don't ask for the PIN and don't enable WWAN. This makes sure WWAN is only enable (and GSM cards powered up), if necessary and it will make sure the user will not be bother with a PIN dialog, unless it's necessary to start a connection (it's very annoying at least for me, if I get this PIN dialog, because I have a build in gsm modem when I am working via LAN or WLAN). If later on a connection is started manually and the PIN is not known, then the PIN is requested from the user. BTW. Is there a reason why there exists two sorts of PIN dialogs? I think it would be better to use just one dialog and also to always tie the PIN to SIM ID like it is done in the startup dialog? Hopefully this patch is helpful for somebody Regards Gerald
