We will need the following:

• RE of the current data icd2 plugin from Fremantle (as starting base)
• Code to interface with ofono, resulting in libicd-network-ofono (WIP)
• Connui UI plugins for gprs and port it to ofono https://github.com/maemo-leste/connui-cellular (WIP)
• Database of various mobile operations and their default APN information in connui-cellular and ofono
• Hardware/driver support (working for various devices)

Useful resources/hw/links:

• https://wiki.maemo.org/User:Jebba/Ofono#Using_oFono_in_Pass_thru_mode (pass through n900 modem with ofono, works for non-data only)
• An USB modem for testing (like Option modems)
• ofono: https://01.org/ofono

Olimex 3g modem (should also do voice calls), should work with ofono:

USB passthrough on QEMU can work like this (note -device usb-ehci and -device usb-host), pick proper product/vendor IDs:

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -hda \
/ext4/leste/maemo-leste-1.0-amd64-virtual-20181102.qcow2 \
-vga virtio -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp cores=2 -m 4096 \
-nic user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:7722-:22 -display gtk \
-usb -device usb-ehci,id=ehci \
-device usb-host,bus=ehci.0,vendorid=0x2c7c,productid=0x0125 \
-device usb-host,bus=ehci.0,vendorid=0x13d3,productid=0x3346 \
-monitor stdio
