Hi,
I have been doing a little python app based on GObject Introspection using
libmm-glib for configured and connected a Quectel (5G) modem to the Vodafone
Spain network

I have very little experience with all of this, I thought to use pyroute2
or similar to do next command line instructions (from an app python) in
order to connect the operating system to the packet data connection that the
modem has established with the mobile phone network (it is already done
using libmm-glib):
Getting iface access like as: sudo ip link set dev wwan0 up
Setting ip address associated to the bearer: sudo ip address
add 100.71.123.241/30 dev wwan0
Setting the route: sudo ip route add default via
100.71.123.242 dev wwan0
Setting the available dns...
Is good option use pyroute2 or do you recommend another API (python based)
from a performance/learning perspective?
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
