Comment(by ajay_garg):

 Hi Peter.

 As far as I know, the current mainline code already stores the settings as
 system-settings.
 So far so good.

 Earlier, in the "ModemConfiguration" CP applet, user would enter some
 strings (even if they were useless) manually (on the UI). These (even if
 useless) strings would then be stored as GSM-connection-settings as
 system-settings.

 The current patch simply automates the filling up of this strings (at the
 UI level).
 These strings continue to be saved as system-settings. No change on that
 front.

 Even in gnome, these populating-of-strings-on-the-UI is handled by nm-
 applet.


 So, in Gnome ::

 a)
 The strings are populated via nm-applet.

 b)
 Settings are saved as system-settings.

 c)
 These settings are used by MM.


 In Sugar,

 a)
 The strings are populated via "ModemConfiguration" CP applet.

 b)
 Settings are saved as system-settings.

 c)
 These settings are used by MM.
