T-mobile no longer recognized -- shows "Unknown"

[johnsu01]

Using framework from git, up-to-date, with moko11 firmware, 2.6.29 andy-tracking kernel and Debian. This is a US T-Mobile card, and at some point recently it stopped (usually) showing T - Mobile in registration and now just says Unknown.

A few other users are experiencing this. Looks like it might be due to leading zeros for MNCs in /etc/freesmartphone/ogsmd/networks.tab. See the SHR archives[1]

Should be fixed in [edbba5e161133c28cc41c96afb8d9ea98c46d3e0], please test.

According to

var/log/syslog.1.gz:Mar 10 06:35:57 calvino ogsmd.channel DEBUG    <MiscChannel via /dev/pts/0>: g
ot 55 bytes: '\r\n+COPS: 0,0,"T - Mobile"\r\n\r\n+COPS: 0,2,"31026"\r\n\r\nOK\r\n'

the network name is known to the modem, so why is it trying to look it up?

[jluebbe]

This is also the explaination why phone shows O2 instead of o2 - de

[drs]

This patch has resolved the issue for me. jluebbe does bring up a good point though..

[johnsu01]

Sorry, my FR was off getting buzz-fixed :). But I can verify that this fix works for me, at least I see T-Mobile now instead of Unknown.
