Hi Giacinto,
Reading through your patches, I'm missing an overarching explanation of
why we need this. Do you really have an LTE network in range that
requires authentication for the default APN?
yes, quite a few of them actually.
And all private APN I have seen so far require authentication, even
for the combined attach.
Are these networks something a typical user would see? Or is this
mainly for M2M type usecases?
Fundamentally this whole username / password for a default bearer
activation is utterly insane. The network provider has your IMSI, it
can lookup whether you're authorized for that APN or not, or suggest you
an APN that will work... But I digress..
Shall I extend the explanation?
An extended explanation is always a good idea. Especially for something
that seems to be pretty esoteric.
There wasn't much of an explanation why we need a default APN for LTE, either.
Sure there was. Not sure why you say that :) Maybe it wasn't recorded
in the git commit but it was discussed on the mailing list, IRC, etc.
But again, see above. The whole default attach APN needing to be
provisioned by the client is utterly insane.
Regards,
-Denis
