when to set a Modem online

Hi,

On Huawei devices i need to wait for the pin to be entered before
setting the Online property to true.
For this i'm waiting for the Interfaces dict to contain
org.ofono.ConnectionManager.
Now i'm trying an Option dongle, the org.ofono.ConnectionManager
interface is only added after the Online property is set.

So checking which interfaces are available isn't a good way to check
when i can set a modem Online.
Is there a good way to know the modem is in MODEM_STATE_OFFLINE, and
we can set the Online property?

Thanks,
Cedric

Then wait for the SubscriberIdentity to be signaled.  This is similar to 
how connman works.  See tools/auto-enable.c for a more detailed example.

Going Online before the PIN is entered is really only for voice modems 
and emergency mode.

Sounds like the option driver was never converted fully.  Care to move 
the GPRS stuff into post_sim and see if anything breaks?
