Urrhm, I don't dare trying to do that ;-)

I recently did a quick hack to be able to test the same functionality in
umbim, and that hack ended up umodified in the repo:

http://git.openwrt.org/?p=project/umbim.git;a=commitdiff;h=af9c293c1f1d8a97fbd8adf9c6070ead4920ca84

I'm not at all sure that prefixing the APN this way was smart.  It was
simply an easy way to hack around the issue there and then...

But both umbim and mbimcli has the problem that the connect command
should be able to take a large number of optional parameters.  Extending
the syntax to allow that isn't so easy.  It's already overloaded enough
by the authentication parameters.

So I trust that you and Dan know how to do these user interface things
properly :-)
