@kgunn72 I think we certainly have moved on to a different bug. Originally, QNAM was not considering mobile data connection at all, because the QtBearer was only using generic plug (which does not know the difference between mobile data and other network interfaces and is not really usable anyway). The NetworkManager backend was also not working as it should.

@mathieu-tl I just noticed in comment #10, you mention roaming (as does the bug subject). Roaming in QConfiguration means 'connection migration' where connections are migrated seamlessly to and from wlan/mobile (kind of like what mobile does moving from tower to tower), i.e. a streaming media would continue uninterrupted moving from wlan to mobile data. I believe it has been supported only on Symbian which did the connection migrations at the platform level .

QNAM should now at least switch the configuration it uses when the default route changes to one that is usable, which is about the closest we can get to connection 'roaming' at this point. Previously a client would have to tear down and create a new QNAM. Now, a QNAM get request should succeed regardless when the QNAM was made.
