<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi, </div>I'm working on a kiosk system that has no GUI, and hope to use mmcli to get my mobile broadband modems working. Happily, according to a recent thread, that can be done: "I can now initialise and obtain an IP connection "woohooo"" from<a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/modemmanager-devel/2013-December/000682.html" target="_blank"> http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/modemmanager-devel/2013-December/000682.html</a> </div>I am able to enable, connect, and list a bearer with mmcli (great job to the MM team, by the way, for the hard work that makes that possible). When I run wvdialconf, to make the PPP connection the bearer info says is necessary, no modem is found. I'm initially trying to connect to Sprint's network in the US, with mmcli version 1.0.0, on openSUSE 13.1, and to Verizon down the road. </div><div>The commands I ran are included below, I erred on the side of more info. </div>Thanks, </div>Eric <div><div> <div><div><div><div> [eric@linux-vn1z ~]$ mmcli -V mmcli 1.0.0 Copyright (2011) Aleksander Morgado License GPLv2+: GNU GPL version 2 or later <<a href="http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html">http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html</a>> This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
