Thanks for the reminder/suggestion ... for now it's enough to get it working in the mentioned way as that stick is here for some weeks only. It's only a a test drive and I have to return it if I don't decide to do sign a contract (which is pretty expensive ...). I research if we have good enough LTE-coverage at a customer's numerous sites as we consider to back up their insufficient internet connectivity somehow. I would have to get it running with some router-distro like ipfire or pfsense to be able to use it ... - some more work ahead ;-) Thanks, Stefan

I compiled and loaded that module ... no real difference to see ... still no mobile broadband offered. When I rmmod them all and plug in again, I get option loaded again. Should I remove this one from my .config? Even when I rmmod option, modprobe qmi_wwan and then plugin option gets loaded (and no mobile broadband in NM). Could it be related to our friend systemd which renames wwan0 to wwp0s26u1u1i1 according to dmesg? PS. I don't have such a device to test here, so hope this will get you in the right ball park. Thanks for your help ...

I compiled and loaded that module ... no real difference to see ... still no mobile broadband offered. When you say no real difference ... dmesg should show that the module is loading. /var/log/messages should show the same. ifconfig should show a new device has been activated. Yes?

Even when I rmmod option, modprobe qmi_wwan and then plugin option gets loaded (and no mobile broadband in NM). I would get NM troubleshooted after the device is recognised by the kernel and the relevant modules are loaded. Could it be related to our friend systemd which renames wwan0 to wwp0s26u1u1i1 according to dmesg? I thought that this is a udev issue, rather than systemd. I don't know anything about systemd (not tried it yet) and on a stable Gentoo install you should be able to see the wwan0 device in ifconfig. PS. I should also say that I don't use NM on my machines ... so someone else should hopefully be able to help with NM issues. I use symlinks in /etc/init.d/ for my NICs. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

NM sometimes is very comfortable on notebooks etc. ... so why not ... I don't know if NM *should* detect that fuzzy interface-name now ... maybe I should do some udev-rule to get wwan0 back?

Now I have device wwan0 but still NM does not care about it. I really don't want to rant ... but ... you know. Just an observation: Started a VM on my main workstation ... Windows XP inside of VMware Player. Not even KVM or something ... Connected that funny stick to that very VM ... and connected to funky internet on first try ... So what about that? UNIX/Linux runs what percentage of the internet? ok ok ... LTE is new linux has only a small percentage ... gentoo even less. I spent my whole afternoon trying to connect this very stick to the internet ... via 2 linuxes and 1 bsd not ONE connection. Right now I pull in an ISO at 1100kB/s, via that very stick, into an XP-VM. (seems I don't have LTE coverage here ... but some UMTS or so ) - Might be just plain ignorance by the provider. Not telling me access infos etc. My ADSL is slower. *sigh* Just a bit of feedback :-) S
