trying to figure out the best logical solution for setting up a data connection on boot without it being triggered by something, once booted we just want to connect via gsm… whats more logical then say a simple start up script

You could write a simple Legato app that calls `le_data_AddConnectionStateHandler()` to register for data connection service status events and then call `le_data_Request()` to actually request a data connection. I think this is basically what cm data is doing under the hood. If you have an app that requires a data connection, an even better solution would be to just integrate the above function calls into that app.
