If Mode online is triggered just after Mode LPM and Mode LPM
processing is not complete in modem, modem will not process the next
request and the device will be stuck in an unwanted modem power
state. Thus, wait for a mode change indication from the modem before
declaring that a power on/off has been successful.
Fibocom's documentation states that we must double-check the connection
is established when setting up an ECM connection. The possible replies -
according to the documentation - are:
+GTRNDIS: <state>,<cid>,<ip>,<prim. dns>,<sec. dns>
OK
or
+GTRNDIS: 0
We just care about the state value which is 1 if everything worked.
Quectel EG25-G QMI modem firmware revisions are not matched with carrier configs.
Different VoLTE profiles might be selected by the user causing
the carrier config revision to change.
Since fwupd uses this string for firmware updates, it gets confused and
thinks the user has an update available.
When we have just enabled, we want to give it some time before
starting the registration process, so that any pending registration
update that may have been scheduled during the enabling phase is
applied. We don't want to trigger a new automatic registration if
e.g. we're already registered.
The 'ENABLE + 1' step is 'WAIT_FOR_ENABLED' really, and that should be
only used when the current state is not a final one. If we're already
enabled, or registered, or connected, then jump to 'REGISTER' right
away.
During the enabling phase, the modem may receive a lot of asynchronous
updates reporting registration info changes, but we were fully
ignoring them because the modem was not yet enabled. The problem with
this is that as soon as we reach the enabled state, we may not receive
additional info, so we would be left in 'enabled' state until new
asynchronous updates are received or until we start a connection
attempt.
We can solve this by triggering an explicit update with the
registration information that we have cached as soon as we're enabled.
Only if transitioning into a "registered" state ("home", "roaming",
"partner") or if "denied"; otherwise, assume LAC/TAC/CID are all
unknown.
This change makes the logic also reload the location info on
registration updates reported asynchronously via notifications.
The profile management APIs implemented by Microsoft in the MBIM
extensions provide certain features that are not available via other
means (e.g. ip type, access type preference, roaming allowance...).
Unfortunately, these APIs require the current list of profiles
installed in the modem to be a bit special; e.g. with one profile max
for each context/APN type. If this does not happen, the operations
will fail, or they will update contexts that should not be updated.
So, we disable for now the MBIM extension profile management support;
the logic is there, but not used by default.
In order to show the properties of the profile management interface, e.g.:
$ sudo mmcli -m a --3gpp-profile-manager-status
-----------------------------------
3GPP profile manager | index field: apn-type
The modem may report the 'apn-type' field is the one to be used as
index; if that's the case, allow setting and deleting profiles based
on the given 'apn-type' field.
This change also makes the internal profile management operations use
one index field or another, based on what the protocol implements.
For most protocols, the operations to manage profiles require a unique
'profile-id' as index. This applies to AT, QMI and generic MBIM.
But for MBIM using the Microsoft Extensions for profile management,
this is no longer true; the device expects the 'apn-type' to be the
index.
This new property lets the user know which is the expected index field
in the Delete() and Set() operations.
Microsoft defined a new extended version of the "provisioned contexts"
operation from the generic MBIM basic connect service. This extended
version adds several new settings that can be stored in the profile
(e.g. IP type, media type, roaming allowance...).
But this new version has a huge drawback; we cannot specify single
profiles via their unique id while we perform update/delete operations
in the modem. Instead, Microsoft explains that we should use the
context type to identify the target context; but this will ONLY work
if we have one context defined for each type. As soon as we have
multiple contexts of the same type, this operation may fail or
otherwise update multiple contexts at once.
The 'allow-roaming' setting should be considered deprecated for 3GPP
devices that support the new 'roaming-allowance' setting, which is
much more detailed (as it allows to differentiate between partner and
non-partner networks) and may also be stored as part of a profile.
