h3. Limitations
* The protocol implementation is not 100% complete as shown in the "status of libsamsung-ril":https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/Libsamsung-ril however it's still been used daily by people using Replicant, so if there are issues, they tend to be known. Replicant has a "Telephony and mobile data section":https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/issues?v[category_id][]=99 in its bugreporting system with issues and research topics related to libsamsung-ipc.
* At some point a really problematic bug appeared (some SIM cards were not recognized) but it got eventually fixed and it was in another part of the stack (libsamsung-ril).
* Libsamsung-ril needs to be ported to more recent rild API but the work on that has already started.
-* It still depends on modem kernel drivers that are not upstream. Android and GNU/Linux distributions using it were all using derivatives of vendor kernels that had the required modem drivers. - +* It still depends on modem kernel drivers that are not upstream.
