Ok,
I opted for the ofono script.
The modem is now online
[ /zte_2 ]
Features = sim
Emergency = 0
Powered = 1
Lockdown = 0
Interfaces = org.ofono.SimManager
Online = 1
Model = MF636
Revision = BD_P673M2V1.0.4B08
Type = hardware
Serial = 353924030942001
Manufacturer = ZTE CORPORATION
[ org.ofono.SimManager ]
Retries =
FixedDialing = 0
SubscriberNumbers =
BarredDialing = 0
LockedPins =
PinRequired = none
Present = 1
However, connman module still has nothing new :(
Maybe my connman is installed badly.
I only seem to get wifi and wired when I issue:
dbus-send --system --dest=net.connman --print-reply /
net.connman.Manager.GetTechnologies
The documentation says it's built in and can only be disabled manually, so it
should be ok.
Thanks in advance,
