GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 687918
Settings for mobile broadband should specify to which SIM/modem apply
Last modified: 2020-11-12 14:29:12 UTC
Settings created for mobile broadband connections should specify to which SIM/modem apply. If the modem has a SIM (e.g. 3GPP modems), settings should contain the unique ID of the SIM (IMSI); otherwise settings should contain the unique ID of the modem (equipment ID, e.g. IMEI in 3GPP). The mobile broadband connection creation wizard already asks the user to which device the connections should apply, but AFAIK currently it's only used to decide whether they are GSM or CDMA connection settings. If the UI finds one single set of settings which apply to the specific SIM/Modem it could allow to Connect the modem using them. If more than one set of settings is found for the specific SIM/Modem it could decide to show a list of which are allowed to connect instead.
NM bugzilla reorganization... sorry for the bug spam.
