PC suite does provide access to packet data. The existing pn_pep kernel= module=20 provides data path (IPv4 or IPv6 packets) and flow control. But GPRS co= ntext=20 credentials, IP/DNS parameters, setup/teardown, etc, are missing. I am = not=20 sure where the user/kernel split should be here... I guess in a perfect world, Linux would provide a common control interf= ace for=20 GPRS as it already does WiFi (and maybe soon will for WiMAX?). But I am= not=20 sure we can unify AT+PPP, Phonet, AT+Ethernet and who knows what else, = behind=20 a common Netlink interface, especially as AT commands have always been = done in=20 userland anyway.
