Hi,
Not sure if this the best forum to ask questions regarding MM
configuration, etc. I hope so. If not please refer me to appropriate
forums.
I have a Quectel UC20 gsm modem. I got it working under Debian Jessie
on my MacBook (using VirtualBox). It all seem to go well and had no
problems getting it to work (well, after I unloaded the option driver,
as the Quectel documentation only specifies the multiple tty method to
access the modem).
Now I have installed the same modem (on an evaluation board) to my
embedded arm board (Digilent ZedBoard with Xilinx Zynq dual ARM-A9 SOC),
also running Debian Jessie. It's conncected via a USB OTG port. It
shows up with lsusb and also the /dev/cdc-wdm0 entry is populated. MM
can see the device with 'mmcli -L' and 'mmcli -m 0' reports a bunch of
information, so everything looks fine as far as detecting and
communicating with the device.
However, I just can't get it to connect to my ISP. It works ok on the
full Debian Jessie system, but not on the ZedBoard.
I copied the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<myisp> file from
the VB system. I presume that is ok and MM should work.
I thought I would try creating a new connection, but I can't find a way
of doing this from the cli. nm-connection-editor is gnome app and I
don't have gnome installed on my embedded board. I tried nmtui,
nmtui-edit, nmtui-connect, but there are no options to add a Mobile
Broadband connection as there is with nm-connection-editor.
Is there a nice/easy way of adding a new Mobile Broadband connection
with the cli tools ?
