Getting the network interface working on ZTE K3570 etc

[Andrew Bird (Sphere Systems)]

Hi all,
	I'm new to this list but I recently sent some patches to the kernel devs 
following on from the qmi-wwan work that was recently done. I'm looking to get 
to the point where ZTE based mobile broadband sticks(and others) can be 
connected using the network interface rather than using pppd. Is that a goal 
shared by the libqmi people too? Ideally for me the library would be usable 
from both Modem Manager and perhaps Wader eventually via python bindings.
I've been looking at the repo at git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libqmi.git and 
wondered if that was the best place to try out the bleeding edge stuff? I've 
played with the sample qmitest.c program and managed to get sensible data for 
signal strength etc, but no MEID since my devices are all UMTS. I see several 
directories in the repo that appear to have reference material, but only 
really the qmitest.c that looks like it's home grown. Am I seeing the very 
early start of libqmi, or is there somewhere else I should look?

Is there an IRC channel for this somewhere too?


Thanks,


Andrew
