 The $NWBAND command seems to disturb the internal state of the modem
 such that it is unlikely to connect to the network, and produces
 widely varying error codes. We don't actively use this functionality,
 it's just that setting use all bands is part of the normal
 ModemManager simple-connect sequence. Remove it so it doesn't get
 triggered.

I would leave this code around, and instead make sure that if no
bands-specific configuration is given in the simple connect properties,
we don't try to do anything with the bands setup. What do you think?

2012-05-02 Thread Nathan Williams
I'm leery of including code that can run the $NWBAND command to set the
modem's state, since as far as I can tell it simply breaks the modem, at
least until it is power-cycled. Not setting the bands in the simple connect
process unless explicitly requested seems like a fine change on its own,
but I think this is too dangerous to include.

Ok, then. Pushed already.
