FSO and GPRS; still no dice

[Dylan Semler]

There have been some posts on the community list about people having success
with FSO and GPRS using scripts from the wiki[1].  I seem to be having less
luck.  I'm running a fresh install of FSO from today's build (20080820).

I run the following dbus command to try to activate GPRS:
# mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.frameworkd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.ActivateContext wap.voicestream.com x x


Using mdbus -s -l I observe the following GSM signals (among other noise):
 [SIGNAL]    org.freesmartphone.GSM.PDP.ContextStatus    from :1.3
/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
(dbus.Int32(1), dbus.String(u'outgoing'), dbus.Dictionary({},
signature=dbus.Signature('sv')))

/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
(dbus.Int32(1), dbus.String(u'release'), dbus.Dictionary({},
signature=dbus.Signature('sv')))


At the same time logread -f reports some serious problems with pppd:

If pppd is truely the culprit, it's puzzling why GPRS is working on others'
freerunners and not mine.
