Pass the device's hardware IDs through modem creation and use them
when calculating the device's identifier. Add a bunch of testcases
for real hardware to ensure we don't break the device ID in the
future unless we really want to.
This is computed before any PIN is entered, and thus before we can
usually get IMEI or MEID/ESN out of the device in many cases. It's
therefore not the same as EquipmentIdentifier.
This is intended to be used by UI programs for matching devices with
PIN numbers for automatic unlocking. While the PIN number is actually
*SIM* specific, no modems allow access to the IMSI before the PIN is
entered, and thus we cannot actually match the PIN with the SIM. The
device ID is the next best thing we can use and should allow auto
unlocking in most cases.
Since MMModem is an interface and doesn't store stuff like the
modem's physdev internally (since it's an interface) these things
are handled via GObject properties. And since g_object_get()
returns allocated values, we need to free the returned value
from mm_modem_get_device() after we're done with it.
When the support is complete, use --with-polkit to enable
PolicyKit support. It's not there yet, but this commit adds an
authorization provider framework which will be extended to allow
hooking into PolicyKit.
Clients can check the property to determine lock/unlock status and thus
unlock the modem before trying to connect if required.
Bits of the patch by dcbw (see the bug).
There are more places to handle, but these are the most critical. If
the modem is removed while a command is in-progress, the mm-callback-info
code will set info->modem to NULL. Make sure we check for that in
callbacks and return a reasonable error. Previous code would just
blindly forge ahead and die on a null dereference.
ZTE modems need to use udev rules to assign port type hints,
so generalize that and port all the plugins over to suggested
port types in the MMModem interface's grab_port() function.
Allow plugins to perform asynchronous port detection, and to defer port detection
until later. This moves the prober bits into MMPluginBase so that all plugins
can take adavantage of it only when needed; the probing is not done at udev time.
Furthermore, plugins like Novatel can flip the secondary ports over the AT mode
through deferred detection, by deferring the secondary ports until the main port
has been detected and AT$NWDMAT has been sent.
This commit also finishes the port of the rest of the plugins (except mbm) over
to the new port detection methods and plugin API.
Get rid of dependency on HAL, using libgudev instead. Fix up the plugin API
to no longer use either HAL or udev defines, but let plugins use whatever
mechanism they want for getting more information out of the device given the
subsystem and device node name.
Modems are now defined as "master" devices which "own" a one or more ports.
A port could be a serial tty device or a network device or whatever. The
plugin figures out whether it supports a given port or not and then assigns
it to a new or existing modem. Modems now have a 'valid' property that
should be set to TRUE when the modem has enough ports to operate correctly.
For devices (ex. 'hso') that use a network device for data transfer, the
modem would need to grab at least one TTY and the network device associated
with that physical device to be 'valid'.
Also move the generic modem support code to a plugin like other modem plugins,
and change the I-support-this-device mechanism to return a number indicating
the level of support. For example, the generic plugin would return a quite
low number if the device indicates via probing that it can do GSM or CDMA, but
a more specific plugin can indicate better support for the device, and thus
the more specific plugin would win control.
* Add IpMethod property with known values ppp (default), static, DHCP.
* Rename DataDevice property to Device.
* Add GetIP4Config method. It should be implemented only when IpMethod==static.
* Update org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem.Gsm.Sms interface based on
Pablo Martí Gamboa's suggestions.
* Adjust MBM and HSO interfaces to take advantage of the generic Modem
interface.
Rework the MMCallbackInfo callback invocation.
Always use g_error_literal() where it makes sense.
Replace sleep() calls, with timeouts to not block the whole MM.
Instead of vague "send something, wait something" the responses are now
analyzed by (overridable) parsers. Makes all the modem implementations much
easier since each caller knows without any code whether the call succeeded
or failed.
Another thing that makes modem code simpler (and the whole thing more robust),
is the queueing of sent commands. Each queued command has a command and a
callback which is quaranteed to get called, even if sending failed.
Define and implement error reporting.
