Thread: Configuring & Enabling WWAN modems from the command line
i'm trying set headless router based on ubuntu 12.10 32bit server. i'm looking information how enable , configure wwan modems command line. if matters, using soekris net6501 , have both sierra wireless mc7710 mini-pcie modem , huawei e398 usb stick modem.
thanks!

this bit surprising me. i've far seen mc7710 appear 68a3 in directip mode , 68a2 in qmi mode. happen know why id here (like: you've set valueposted bhimapandava

regardless of above, directip mode. sierra wireless fixed interface numbers identify different usb functions, , if#7 directip function. therefore bit surprised see "sierra" serial driver had bound it. looking @ driver now, see related unexpected id. "sierra" driver blacklists if#7 ids handled "sierra_net" driver, i.e. 1199:68a3, 0f3d:68a3 , 0f3d:68aa.
yes, either have change product id of module (if acceptable), or add entry current id both drivers.modinfo sierra_net:

if module available id, , if#7 directip, think should fix drivers. able verify this?
sorry, don't know enough finer details here. except connecting in ppp mode should work if ttyusb3 1 of ports supporting that. easiest way find out using terminal application minicom.

assume you'll prefer use module in directip or qmi mode remove ppp bottleneck, let's try find out how best that....
