The "static" setting in the EM7565 running in QMI mode is only because the modem is being managed in "raw-ip" mode (i.e. network interface doesn't use Ethernet headers). ModemManager defaults to static settings in this case because there aren't many DHCP clients that can use network interfaces of that kind. From a user point of view, though, this shouldn't be an issue at all, the IP settings you're asked to use in the "static" setup would be the same ones given by the DHCP server running in the modem. -- Aleksander https://aleksander.es _______________________________________________ ModemManager-devel mailing list ModemManager-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/modemmanager-devel
