PC suite does provide access to packet data. The existing pn_pep kernel module provides data path (IPv4 or IPv6 packets) and flow control. But GPRS context credentials, IP/DNS parameters, setup/teardown, etc, are missing. I am not sure where the user/kernel split should be here... I guess in a perfect world, Linux would provide a common control interface for GPRS as it already does WiFi (and maybe soon will for WiMAX?). But I am not sure we can unify AT+PPP, Phonet, AT+Ethernet and who knows what else, behind a common Netlink interface, especially as AT commands have always been done in userland anyway.
