I confirm I got the same problem no my Dell MC8805.. Too bad that we still need DHCP to make it work as btw your latest version of qmi-network/qmicli are very great (specifically with the FCC and 802-3 automatic test at the beginning where I needed to do it on my script now I erase theses lines :) plus the --wds-get-current-settings option. The reason why I don't want to use DHCP is because my system has multiple NICs and I don't want it to mess with default gw added by DHCP.. many thanks <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 11/10/15 07:45, Aleksander Morgado wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:CAAP7uc+W7dHLcFq4s7JCbDvKk2EOZW7_xOcjChGGsm8FZQPjMA@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Tue, Nov 10, 2015 at 12:07 AM, Benoît <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:benoitne@gmail.com"><benoitne@gmail.com></a> wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I think I remember seeing that it is a normal behavior that qmi-network will be disconnected if no dhcp request is made before 120sec. I have tried to manually add the IP thanks to the information provided by the new option in Master branch ( --wds-get-current-settings) but it is not like to work. So I am just wondering if there is a particular behavior where the data pane is going to only be available if dhcp request / response are previously made? Then it would explain why in my configuration without DHCP and with manual IP configuration it doesn't work. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Yes, we've seen that already in some Huawei devices at least. This lengthy discussion in the ModemManager mailing list as an example: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/modemmanager-devel/2014-August/001423.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/modemmanager-devel/2014-August/001423.html</a> Basically, some modems require the DHCP step even if they expose the IP settings via QMI, which is why we're defaulting to DHCP always for QMI modems in ModemManager. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
