[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Proposal: Database support for 3G modem configuration

[Anish Mangal]

Hi,

I would like to propose a feature for inclusion in the 0.98 cycle,
which provides database support for configuring 3G modems in sugar.
The relevant details can be found in the associated feature page:

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/3G_Support/Database_Support

This code is presently on top of 0.94 and is tested to be functioning
correctly in dextrose-3 (11.3.1) builds. This will be ported once the
design is agreed upon.

The feature essentially allows the user to select 'Country', 'Plan',
'Provider' from a drop down box which then fills up the relevant
fields needed for 3G configuration. The design mimics what is
available in gnome (which is pretty standard). Without this, the user
needs to remember the 3G settings and type them in manually in text
entry fields.

Cheers,
Anish
