Only enable modem when needed with kill switches
#1
Hello!

For privacy reasons I want to keep modem disabled unless I want to make a call or use internet via the modem.

I was expecting operating system on pinephone to find the modem once its powered back by the hardware kill-swich on the back of the device.

Doesn't work: once the modem's hardware kill-switch is "off", the modem does not re-appear in pinephone operating system when the hardware kill-switch is returned to "on" position.

I tried with postmarketOS, ubuntu touch and pure os for pinephone (purism guy says on Librem phone the switches are not requiring re-boot for re-activating the hardware, at least not wifi: https://forums.puri.sm/t/librem-5-pineph...es/8793/12 ). Neither was able to detect modem when its re-enabled by the hardware kill-switch.

Is there any way to bring pinephone modem back to operating mode without system reboot after I flip its hardware kill switch from "off" to "on" position?

Thank you
