Bug Description

The Touch phone UI designed for editing APNs includes a button labeled "Reset APN Settings".

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#A.2BIBw-APN.2BIB0-

The only way this can be accomplished via the current code is to delete all of the existing contexts and then either restart ofono, or reboot the phone.

If restarting ofono from the System Settings UI isn't considered a good idea, another option would be to add a new method to ofono's ConnectionManager interface that would trigger re-provisioning ( if and only if there's no existing contexts ).

This being reported against ofono version 1.12.bzr6868+14.10.20140625-0ubuntu1 ( included in image #u117 ).

Other option is to add a new property to org.ofono.ConnectionContext:

                bool Provisioned [read]

                        Holds whether the context has been provisioned.

This way Reset could only remove contexts that have Provisioned == False.

Removing the "Reset" button from the UI for now as we have no reasonable way of implementing it.

Assigned to Alfonso. We've discussed a few possible solutions.

Restarting ofono is a non-starter from the settings UI as it requires root permission to stop/start ofono, and also to delete the GPRS settings file.

Another alternative is to offline the modem ( via URfkill , delete all of the contexts ( via ofono's ConnectionManager iface ), and then ensure that re-provisioning is triggered in this case.

    which deletes all existing gprs contexts and forces
    re-provisioning to occur.
  * plugins/ubuntu-apndb.c: ignore 'ipv6' protocol
    This change causes APNs with an 'ipv6' protocol value

    This change adds support for the 'Preferred' ( and 'Active')
    properties which both need to be DBus variant wrapped booleans.
    Also added support for multi-SIM which was lacking from this script.
