mmcli is GPLv2+; that's what --version has always said and that's what the
README in ModemManager sources specifies:
License.
The ModemManager and mmcli binaries are both GPLv2+.
The libmm-glib library is LGPLv2+.
We will expose a new 'Ports' property listing all ports currently known by a
given modem. Ports which are not used but are detected as being part of the
modem will be listed with an 'unknown' port type.
This change uses the new 'MMModemPortType' enum and the new 'MMModemPortInfo'
helper struct to handle these values in libmm-glib. The already available
'MMPortType' enum hasn't been re-used for the interface because it contains
values that we don't need (e.g. IGNORED).
The port list is now also included in the modem information command of mmcli:
$ sudo mmcli -m 0
/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0 (device id '97b7b99e3e2bea103880545b619fb05a3cc81b26')
-------------------------
System | device: '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4'
| drivers: 'qcserial, qmi_wwan'
| plugin: 'Gobi'
| primary port: 'cdc-wdm0'
| ports: 'ttyUSB0 (qcdm), ttyUSB1 (at), cdc-wdm0 (qmi), wwp0s29u1u4 (net)'
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702678
And also make it a list of masks, specifying which are the specific combinations
supported, not just one mask with all.
E.g.:
-------------------------
Hardware | manufacturer: 'Sierra Wireless, Incorporated'
| model: 'MC7710'
| revision: 'SWI9200X_03.05.19.04ap r5475 carmd-en-10527 2012/09/17 17:57:14'
| supported: 'gsm-umts
| gsm-umts, lte'
| current: 'gsm-umts, lte'
| equipment id: '358178040668164'
We now have a single 'CurrentModes' property which contains both values in a
tuple with signature "(uu)".
Also, rename 'SetAllowedModes()' to 'SetCurrentModes()', and update the list of
arguments expected to have a single "(uu)" tuple.
We do need to specify which is the primary port being used for controlling the
modem. This allows us to match the device with an already existing bluetooth
device in NetworkManager.
Both the ModemManager daemon and the mmcli will now include `libmm-glib.h' only.
We also handle two new special `_LIBMM_INSIDE_MM' and `LIBMM_INSIDE_MMCLI'
symbols, which if included before the `libmm-glib.h' library allow us to:
* Don't include the libmm-glib high level API in the ModemManager daemon, as
the object names would clash with those in the core.
* Define some of the methods of helper objects to be included only if compiling
ModemManager daemon or the mmcli.
Different ports of the same modem may get handled by different drivers. We
therefore need to provide a list of drivers (new `Modem.Drivers' property with
signature 'as') instead of just one (removed `Modem.Driver' property with
signature 's').
$ sudo mmcli -m 0 | grep drivers
| drivers: 'qcserial, qmi_wwan'
We remove the `--command-timeout' option, as the AT command timeout is now
directly computed from our default DBus timeout (modifiable with `--timeout').
Equivalent to `PinRetryCount' in the previous API. We don't have an additional
property for the retry count of the current lock, as it really is duplicating
information.
ModemManager will load:
1) The list of supported bands. Note that this doesn't mean that any possible
combination of bands is supported, as modems may support only specific
combinations, but at least gives a rough idea of what the modem is capable
of handling.
2) The list of CURRENT bands. There is no such "Allowed" bands, as we do with
modes, modems will have a specific set of bands being currently used, which
will be reported in the `Bands' property.
If the modem allows modifying the list of bands to use, this can be done with
the `SetBands()' method. If the modem doesn't support using a specific
combination of bands, this method will report an error.
Actions on modems from specific interfaces, like 3GPP, will also need the modem
to be specified.
The new 'Common' option group will handle all options to specify objects.
