Title:
  Establish data connection setting is stored per-SIM instead of per-
  modem

Status in ofono package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The configuration data that makes ofono start a data connection is
  per-IMSI, that is, per SIM card. Concretely, it is stored in files of
  the form "/var/lib/ofono/<imsi_number>/gprs".

  This is misleading for the user because she might do things like
  setting data connection off, and then insert a different SIM which
  "gprs" file says that data should be on, getting a data connection in
  the end.

  Also, this is especially bad for dual-SIM, dual-standby modems where
  you might get to a situation where you try to data attach with both
  SIMs, which provokes a race condition, and in the end the user does
  not know which SIM is being used for data.

  The solution would be to store that configuration data per modem,
  which are fixed and it is probably the way the user thinks when using
  system settings.
