Care to explain a bit what HSO Connect is? Is it a kernel driver for some kind of USB modems? Is it a userspace daemon? what kind of script is it? init.d script for booting? or udev script for the kernel module?

HSOConnect is a script provided with the hso kernel module to connect to UMTS net. HSO module create 4 ttyHSO[0-3] which are used one for AT commands, one for GPRS control and so on, the script finds the correct one to issue AT commands and starts the packet driver.

ok I had a look at this. The driver contains some udev rules that we might need port to mdev. We have the usb-modeswitch package in edge/testing repository.

It is a bit difficult for me to test this since I don't have this hardware.

For alpine-2.1 I will try move over to udev, which should make this just work when installing the 99-option-zero-cd.rules file.

Are you ok that we wait with this til 2.1?

Sorry. I completely misunderstood (i think). The thing you are asking for is this:
http://www.pharscape.org/hsoconnect.html

Which is a pythonscript. Right?
Does it work? there is a makefile there, if you run 'sudo make install' it will install it for you in /usr/local, can you verify that it does work?

I suspect there are more things we need to do to get thins thing working.
