IND.T Classification: External I am using a Debian 10 Buster Linux system with ModemManager 1.10 (yes I know it's old, and we have tried Debian 12 Bookwork with MM 1.20) and cannot get a Cinterion PLS63 device to connecto the internet. MM seems happy enough with it. It is detected and I can show status information with mmcli command.
I have successfully connected over many years with this setup using a Quectel EC21 modem, but cannot connect with this new Cinterion PLS63 modem. One difference is that the device seems to show up as a network interface enxNNNNNN and not wwan0 , which is what the EC21 shows up as. Is this expected? Is this the issue? If so, how can I get it to show up as a wwan0 device? Some posts mention udev rules and port type hints. Is this what I should be looking at and are there any example or suggested settings for this modem? I tried using NetworkManger to setup a connection using the enx interface, but the nmtui utility did not recognise it. Thanks, Brendan.
