There is no way to know this from the outside right now. By default it is automatic always, unless explicitly set to manual by the user. If mulitple MM clients are around, you wouldn't know if a different client has set it to manual or not. We could extend the DBus API to report it, it wouldn't be a big issue. Patches would be welcome :D > 2.

The only information we have, that we also expose in the API, is whether the modem is "idle" (not looking to be registered), "searching" (looking for a network to register to), and "home"/"roaming" (registered in home or roaming network). You have this information in the 3GPP registration state property in the Modem3gpp interface. For user-requested register operations, the process is not 100% consistent among different modems, and I have to warn you about that. E.g. when a manual registration in a given network is requested via AT-based modems, we may get the AT command response once we have been fully registered in the requested network. In QMI-based modems, I know that the manual registration request is replied before the full registration to the new network has been done, and that is something we should fix in MM (it's been in my TODO list for some weeks now, should get to do that soon). -- Aleksander https://aleksander.es _______________________________________________ ModemManager-devel mailing list ModemManager-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/modemmanager-devel
