Thanks! How to I enable "service called NetworkManager-dispatcher or nm-dispatcher"? When I search for "dispatcher" in my filesystem only these come up: /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-dispatcher.conf /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher.service /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dispatcher.action /usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch_dispatcher
Starting MM as a service makes perfect sense. The question is however, how do I find out when to say "enable" the modem, or to do a simple-connect? I was planning on using the dispatchers for all of that, to automate all of those. So basically: - MM starts - modem comes up, status -> Disabled - dispatcher kicks in: status -> Enabled - dispatcher kicks in: simple-connect Thanks!
