Nothing automatic, but if you're using NetworkManager, you can always setup something that creates the network settings to use from the mobile-broadband database. We don't do that ourselves because selecting the APN blindly for your users is not ideal, there are multiple things to consider. Most of the times, when you buy a SIM card, you get what settings to use and you should use those. Some operators have looser rules w.r.t. APN, e.g. in Spain I can literally use whatever APN I want with Movistar operator and it'll work, but some others are much stricter, even with strict user/pass settings to use. And of course, you may have APNs for different purposes or even charged differently. It's not an easy think to automate, unless your specific use case covers a fixed subset of options. For most new setups using LTE, you can usually just request connection without an explicit APN (blank APN) and that may work, if your operator allows you to do Internet connection over the initial default LTE bearer for example, although even that is not always the case... -- Aleksander https://aleksander.es _______________________________________________ ModemManager-devel mailing list ModemManager-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/modemmanager-devel
