Dan, it looks like network manager ignores the 'interface-name' param in the connection configs as I have an MC7354 here that I was able to use fine with NetworkManager by giving it 'ifname cdc-wdm0' (which is wrong) On the MC7354: root@ventana:~# nmcli connection down id 'Wired connection 1' Connection 'Wired connection 1' successfully deactivated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1) root@ventana:~# nmcli connection add type gsm ifname cdc-wdm0 con-name mc7354 apn m2m.com.attz Connection 'mc7354' (6d89ff6e-6eb6-4f0f-80d1-fb081165f710) successfully added. # show status root@ventana:~# nmcli connection show NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE Wired connection 1 ea640ea4-3049-39e4-9cdf-a5e53971ced8 802-3-ethernet -- mc7354 6d89ff6e-6eb6-4f0f-80d1-fb081165f710 gsm -- # connect root@ventana:~# nmcli connection up id mc7354 [ 305.557465] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wwan0: link is not ready Error: Connection activation failed: Active connection could not be attached to the device ^^^^^ not sure what this is from - the connection is made and traffic works [ 305.688145] systemd-journald[162]: Successfully sent stream file descriptor to service manager.
