<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body><div>Hello list,<br></div> <div> </div> <div>I have an interesting problem that I have been unable to solve through normal troubleshooting efforts. I thought I would post to the QMI list to see if anyone has any ideas on what might be happening here.<br></div> <div> </div> <div>I am very interested in debugging this problem at whatever level needed to get to the bottom of this and would like to end up with a patch submission to improve the situation for anyone else who runs into the same problem, either via a better error message or via some sort of fix (if needed). I have some experience with C but no driver development experience other than building a module or two from source.<br></div> <div> </div> <div>I have a Dell Latitude E7240 with built-in 4G module. We've been able to get this module to come online and can interrogate it using qmicli, but any attempt to connect or set the operating mode to online fails -- either via qmicli or NetworkManager+ModemManager.<br></div> <div> </div> <div>One interesting note, this card works perfectly if I boot into Windows from a USB drive (Windows was banished from the internal SSD on purchase), connect via Dell's "SkyLight" program, then warm-boot back to Fedora 20. In that case, the initial power mode read from dms-get-operating-mode is "online" rather than "low-power".<br></div> <div> </div> <div>Here is some output of an attempt to set the operating mode:<br></div> <div> </div> <div>iraway@procyon:~$ sudo qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --dms-get-operating-mode<br></div> <div>[/dev/cdc-wdm0] Operating mode retrieved:<br></div> <div>Mode: 'low-power'<br></div> <div>HW restricted: 'no'<br></div> <div>iraway@procyon:~$ sudo qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --dms-set-operating-mode=online<br></div> <div>error: couldn't set operating mode: QMI protocol error (3): 'Internal'<br></div> <div> </div> <div>Really hoping that someone can help out here, we've been unable to make any progress for more than a month of debugging (I'm working with the folks at EmperorLinux through which this machine was purchased, and they have also been unable to come up with much for this problem so far).<br></div> <div> </div> <div>IJR<br></div> <div> </div> <div>p.s.
