Sorry for the delay in responding to your comment.  I took a look at the
updated Networking#phone-cellular and see the addition of APN to the
Cellular menu, but didn't see an APN dialog/screen?  Am I missing
something?

Currently, Touch automatically provisions the APN using the mobile-
broadband-provider-info package which is also installed/used by Desktop
by default.

Android allows multiple APNs to be added, as does oFono, however we
currently limit provisioning to a single APN, which as the bug
describes, cannot currently be edited by the user.  This is one of the
most common problems we're seeing as mbpi doesn't always do the right
thing when provisioning ( note, we are planning on changing the db used
for provisioning ).  I think we should eventually support multiple APNs,
however there are some issues that would need to be solved to do so.
So, a good first compromise would be to continue to support a single
APN, and allow the user to edit it.

Here are the basic APN attributes we should support:

Name: 
( a text description of the APN )

Access Point Name / APN:
( a hostname; eg. wap.cingular, epc.t-mobile.com, ... )

Protocol:
IPv4 | IPv6 | IPv4v6 ( we currently only support IPv4 )

Type:
A comma separated list than can include one of the following strings:
"default", "supl" and "mms"
TBD whether we also should support the string "internet" as an alias for 
"default"

Username:
Password:
( both optional )

MMSC:
URL that points to the operator's MMS server
( optional )

MMS proxy:
MMS port:
( both optional  )
