someone said he had "woods mode" active which as far as I understood is the 
mode with the modem turned off. maybe you can contact him and share his
solution with us on the list.

Doesn't appear to work, at least Linux still thinks GSM is on:

# cat /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta02-pm-gsm.0/power_on
1

I guess that it gets turned off and then QtMoko turns it back on.

did you also try just to 

echo -en "AT  POFF\r" >/dev/ttySAC0

without setting the modem to dummy beforehand?

Unfortunately if I do that then QtMoko doesn't start. qpe seems to be
using 100% CPU and the child processes of qpe have all died and become
zombies. Setting the modem to dummy seems to be the cause of this.

Hi,
you can make QtMoko use dummy GSM stack. You can edit /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env and 
change:

export QTOPIA_PHONE=AT

to
export QTOPIA_PHONE=Dummy

Then you need to manually power off the modem - e.g. in startup scripts. I 
think there was AT command for it - maybe:

echo -en "AT@POFF\r" >/dev/ttySAC0

could do it - or google helps :)

Radek
