Everything looks fine on the oFono end...

You can add AT command debugging to see what might be going wrong.  See 
HACKING for details.

Sounds like NetworkManager is confused...

Dear all,
I'm using oFono 1.15 on Ubuntu 14.4 with telit UE910 modem.
OFono is able to detect the modem but for some reason The network interface
never gets an IP resulting in an immediate detach from the network.

oFono side looks good to me.

Figure out why this happens.  Are you running everything as root?

​Yes, I suppose.
I'm running ofono daemon as root ​. It is the only thing I'm running.
​I'll try to figure out the ip-config-unavailable.

Hi Denis, hi all,

I finally got the network interface working by uninstalling the network
manager and manually setting the ppp0 interface with parameters retrieved
from the modem.

I have another problem:
I start the network interface with activate-context python script, and stop
with deactivate-context script.
Once I call deactivate-context, I'm no more able to activate it because ppp
disconnect function calls io_disconnect method, which clears the at channel.
The only way to resume the ppp connection is to disable and re-enable the
modem in order fot the at channel structures to be filled in again.

Is there any reason for that? Is deactivate-context the correct way to
temporary stop the network?

Thank you.

This is a known issue on some hardware, or may be an issue with the 
modem driver for the hardware you are using.  First some background:

Whenever PPP is disconnected, there are several ways to indicate a hangup:
   1. Send an escape sequence to AT mode, followed by 'NO CARRIER'
   2. Send a low level serial line hang-up

Many modems do both, which results in the tty port being 'closed'.  This 
is why you see the ppp_disconnect being triggered.

oFono understands escape sequences, so #1 is sufficient.  On most 
hardware we can send AT&C0 to disable #2, but some hardware still 
ignores that.

Hardware that uses a high-speed interface (most anything released in the 
last few years) doesn't suffer from this issue.

Yes, that is the correct way, assuming your hardware is well behaved.

Thank you so much,
I solved the problem changing the port from "chat" to "modem" for the AT&C0
command in the he910 plugin.
It may be a fix for ofono.

Feel free to send a patch if you think that the port detection logic is 
incorrect.
