10:44 <enyc> DocScrutinizer05: hrrm... interested to learn/read about the details of interface between CPU and new modem/LTE module =). AIUI LTE/4g USB-dangles (external or in USB-pins-on-[mini-pci-e] form-factors) seem now to be all ethernet-over-USB and do their own NAT mangling / DHCPv6-handling internally ...

10:45 <enyc> DocScrutinizer05: supposedly older dongles tended to prevent PPP over serial sort of thing, or something otherwise allowing host device to take external IPv4 address directly...

11:53 <dos1> enyc: in PHS8, you can either use PPP over UART, PPP over USB serial or QMI WWAN (also USB)

11:53 <dos1> enyc: AFAIK it should be the same in PLS8

11:54 <enyc> ooooooh

11:55 <dos1> there is also some TCP/IP implementation on the module which you could use, but it's separate and rather meant for dumber devices than Neo900 ;)

11:56 <enyc> i see i see =)

11:57 <enyc> are there actual power/cpu usage benefits for using that exteranl TCP/IP implementation?

11:58 <enyc> i got hint there can be toruble with thorughput or so

11:59 <enyc> err .. if using serial type ting

12:00 <dos1> yeah, for data it's definitely better idea to use USB

12:00 <enyc> i see =)

12:00 <enyc> what about cpu usage / power consumpiton when using higher speed data?

12:01 <enyc> i'm thinking however its' handled its' going to eat battery at one side or other more-or-less of the link;

12:01 <dos1> well, it's definitely higher by definition ;)

12:01 <enyc> ok so ... change subject ;p

12:02 <enyc> How would you source a really good external-usb 4g-client dongle that works in openwrt or routerboard or something else sesible?

12:02 <enyc> seems to be a nightmare/minefield to find such things!

12:03 <dos1> sorry, no idea - this topic is outside of my knowledge :P

14:21 <enyc> ok =)

14:22 <enyc> dos1: i wonder how much maemo-porting/modification will be needed to support the PLS8 in some manner, differentl to the N900's 2g/3g modem etc...
