[MM 0.8] sierra doesn't read SID / NID
Last modified: 2014-10-15 09:48:47 UTC
The sierra plugin overrides the +CSS check for CDMA SID/NID because it can get that information from the AT!STATUS response, but currently it doesn't do that. We should enhance the !STATUS parsing code to read the SID and NID and (possibly the band) and use that to synthesize a reply for the get_cdma1x_serving_system() hook. Honestly it's not going to make the 0.8 release, but filing this bug so we don't loose the issue.
Oh, one thing to note is that many of the older Sierra cards don't have QCDM ports, so they don't benefit from the generic code's CDMA 1x Status handling, which is what normally reads the SID/NID for QCDM-capable devices.
Moving bugreport to the new ModemManager bugzilla in fd.o; summarized the issue there as well. Please subscribe to the new bugreport to get new updates. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85047 Closing this report as NOTGNOME.
