 > I am not sure about the work flow for this feature. I see the modem and
 hit 'connect'. I get no feedback when that action was not successful what
 went wrong or where I can set the options. How do I know I have to set
 some options in the CP to use the gsm-modem?

 Some discussion is going on the mailing list about these issues. We have
 already patches that improve the situation, but I also think that even if
 the experience is sub-optimal in 0.88 we should still push this, because
 only affects the people that have a device plugged in.

 Why so?

 UI meeting.

 Agreed, but think this should go in first.

 self._current_state is None in that case.

 Daniel Castelo already has a patch that improves this, waiting for this
 one to go in.
