Notes:

  1. [DEVICE] is given as the full path to the cdc-wdm character device,

e.g.:

/dev/cdc-wdm0

  1. The qmi-network script requires a profile to work. Unless

explicitly specified with `–profile’, the file is assumed to be available in the following path:

/etc/qmi-network.conf

  1. The APN to use should be configured in the profile, in the

following way (e.g. assuming APN is called ’internet’):

APN=internet

  1. Optional APN user/password strings may be given in the following

way:

APN_USER=user APN_PASS=password

  1. Optional IP_TYPE strings may be given in the following way:

IP_TYPE=[4|6]

  1. If you want to instruct the qmi-network script to use the qmi-proxy

setup, you can do so by configuring the following line in the profile:

PROXY=yes

  1. To instruct the qmi-network script to use an already existing

Profile ID, or to create a new one on the fly, use the following configuration in the profile:

PROFILE=number
# to use the profile-id number
PROFILE=auto

# to create a temporary profile on the fly

  1. Once the qmi-network script reports a successful connection you

still need to run a DHCP client on the associated WWAN network interface.
