I'd like just to verify that this isn't an issue for Cinterion devices /
plugin.  Is it fair to assume that if there is an issue with context
activation and deactivation then I would not have a ppp0 interface
brought up after running the context deactivation and activation test
scripts?

[ all working - connected on ppp0 ]
/usr/lib/ofono/test/deactivate-context
/usr/lib/ofono/test/activate-context
[ all working - connected on ppp0 ]

That all seems OK here on Cinterion EHS6.

Thanks,

Alex
