The modem vendor should know which CID will be used for the initial default context.
So the idea was to add a requirement in the implementation of the gprs drivers that ofono_gprs_set_cid should be called with a range that's doesn't include the CID used for the initial default bearer.

From what I know there is nothing in the spec saying which CID to use for initial default context.
And there is no standard AT commands to specify settings to use for the initial default context (CID, APN, user , password , IPV4/IPV6/ IPV4V6 ...)

As Pessi said before the PDN connectivity request is UE initiated.

-- The problem is, the initial EPS context is initiated by mobile, not by the network. The mobile sends a piggybacked PDN CONNECTIVITY REQUEST with the initial attach request in order to initiate the initial EPS context. --

What do you mean by context id management be done in the modem ?
