Hi,
Recently built latest stable release of modem manager and trying to use with qmi modems.

# mmcli -V

mmcli 1.4.0

The modems are seen and can look at the status of them OK using mmcli;

# mmcli -L

# mmcli -m 0

When I try an enable the modem it complains that the enable method isn't enabled ?????

# mmcli -m 0 -e
error: couldn't enable the modem: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method Enable is not implemented on interface org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem'

What tests can I perform to try and find the issue as I have 3 different modems that are exhibiting the same issue.

Any help appreciated.

Marc
