Good afternoon,
I'm terribly sorry about the delay, I've not had much free time to spend on
this.
I mistakenly thought that connman module and the econnman script were
interlinked.
Unfortunately, on the ofono front, when plugging in a zte usb dongle... nothing
happens.
It is theoretically supported. This is the output of list-modems.
[ /zte_0 ]
Features = sim
Emergency = 0
Powered = 1
Lockdown = 0
Interfaces = org.ofono.SimManager
Online = 0
Model = MF636
Revision = BD_P673M2V1.0.4B08
Type = hardware
Serial = 353924030942001
Manufacturer = ZTE CORPORATION
[ org.ofono.SimManager ]
Retries =
FixedDialing = 0
SubscriberNumbers =
BarredDialing = 0
LockedPins =
PinRequired = none
Present = 1
Please excuse that I don't really know my way around this stuff.
This is a dongle I was lent for testing, with a valid (but creditless) 3g SIM
card.
It could be something I'm doing / have done wrong.
On the "saving wireless" side, econnman does have a "forget network" button.
However this is replaced by "bad password" or similar text when you enter bad
password, so the button is not available.
On the bt side:
I had a crash earlier, but was unable to get a backtrace, since it was being
traced my enlightenment_start.
Having updating all libs / E etc earlier and having only restarted E, maybe the
crash is related to that.
I had no wsod, and with the instructions on the debugging page I had no luck.
Please note I am not a developer so I'm not all too familiar with gdb and it's
usage.
Thanks in advance,
