The device we're building has 2 identical modems with fixed position on USB. We also have the possibility to drive their power supply independently and to swap the sim cards.
I need a way to know which one is modem A and which one is modem B and I have no easy way of knowing the modem serial number or the sim subscriber id beforehand. With an udev rule, I can easily set a fixed name for the network interface of each modem. But under ofono, I can't tell which modem is which. That's why I added this "not-so-friendly" name. Is there a way of knowing which physical modem ofono is refering to ? I recognize that our case may not be the most common and I understand that you don't want to abuse the Name property. Maybe exposing the NetworkInterface as a modem property would be ok ? or exposing a PhysicalName ? -- Benoît. _______________________________________________ ofono mailing list ofono@ofono.org http://lists.ofono.org/listinfo/ofono
