Network issue no IPv6 using Sierra Wireless EM7421 and mbim
Description: Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish
Release: 22.04
Linux 5.15.0-25-generic
I need to connect via GSM to Internet using IPv6.
IPv6 not present in config.
Internet connect works with IPv4 although issues seem to exist.
EXPECTATION:
IPv6 shall work properly like the EM7455 with same card in very similar
machine, Ubuntu.
IPv6 shall work properly like in Linux-Mint 20.3 on this machine, this setup.
All using the same driver=cdc_mbim
ENVIRONMENT:
- SIM is working properly,
- EM7421 latest firmware applied,
- EM7421 capable doing IPv6 with this setup (according to spec + test with
Win10);
- "package" unknown, sorry. ModemManager probably?
+ - SIM is working properly,
+ - EM7421 latest firmware applied,
+ - EM7421 capable doing IPv6 with this setup (according to spec + test with
Win10 + works with Linux Mint);
- ASSUMPTION:
- Missing IPv6 is a wrong config / bug in software.
- IPv6 communication can be enabled.
- Some enhancement / fix can enable IPv6 communication.
+ "package" not understood, sorry. ModemManager probably?
+
+ ASSUMPTIONs:
+ - Missing IPv6 is a wrong config / bug in software / communication issue.
+ - IPv6 communication can be enabled.
+ - Some enhancement / fix can enable IPv6 communication.
REMARK:
Linux-Mint 20.3 una is capable of running the 'EM7421' in proper IPv6 "mode"
(kernel 5.4.0-107-generic).
- It uses driver=cdc_mbim as well
+ It uses driver=cdc_mbim as well. It shows other issues like missing provision
of additional DNS server data, EUI64 state and the like.

Actually no IPv6 available at all (IPv6 is expected to work):

"state UNKNOWN" indicates erroneous API communication.
Appears even in case the device partly works. On Linux Mint this state is
reported more accurately but other API-data (info about additional DNS) is not

** Description changed:
Network issue no IPv6 using Sierra Wireless EM7421 and mbim
Description: Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish
Release: 22.04
Linux 5.15.0-25-generic
I need to connect via GSM to Internet using IPv6.
IPv6 not present in config.
Internet connect works with IPv4 although issues seem to exist.
EXPECTATION:
IPv6 shall work properly like the EM7455 with same card in very similar
machine, Ubuntu.
IPv6 shall work properly like in Linux-Mint 20.3 on this machine, this setup.
All using the same driver=cdc_mbim
ENVIRONMENT:
- SIM is working properly,
- EM7421 latest firmware applied,
- EM7421 capable doing IPv6 with this setup (according to spec + test with
Win10 + works with Linux Mint);
"package" not understood, sorry. ModemManager probably?
ASSUMPTIONs:
- Missing IPv6 is a wrong config / bug in software / communication issue.
- IPv6 communication can be enabled by adjustment rather than by code changes
in cdc_mbim or redesign of SierraW. EM7421 device.
- Some enhancement / fix can enable IPv6 communication.
REMARK:
Linux-Mint 20.3 una is capable of running the 'EM7421' in proper IPv6 "mode"
(kernel 5.4.0-107-generic).
It uses driver=cdc_mbim as well. It shows other issues like missing provision
of additional DNS server data, EUI64 state and the like.
THE ISSUE
and details:
- Actually no IPv6 available at all (IPv6 is expected to work / no IPv6
+ Actually no IPv6 available at all (IPv6 is expected to work / no IPv6

+ ADDITIONAL ISSUE:
+
+ When disabling WLAN/WiFi in Modem Manager GUI the WWAN / GSM interface

Please advise how to get the WWAN adapter EM7421 working in IPv6 mode.
