<br>
Not sure if this the best forum to ask questions regarding MM
configuration, etc. I hope so. If not please refer me to
appropriate forums.<br>
<br>
I have a Quectel UC20 gsm modem. I got it working under Debian
Jessie on my MacBook (using VirtualBox). It all seem to go well
and had no problems getting it to work (well, after I unloaded the
option driver, as the Quectel documentation only specifies the
multiple tty method to access the modem).<br>
<br>
Now I have installed the same modem (on an evaluation board) to my
embedded arm board (Digilent ZedBoard with Xilinx Zynq dual ARM-A9
SOC), also running Debian Jessie. It's conncected via a USB OTG
port. It shows up with lsusb and also the /dev/cdc-wdm0 entry is
populated. MM can see the device with 'mmcli -L' and 'mmcli -m 0'
reports a bunch of information, so everything looks fine as far as
detecting and communicating with the device.<br>
<br>
However, I just can't get it to connect to my ISP. It works ok on
the full Debian Jessie system, but not on the ZedBoard.<br>
I copied the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<myisp>
file from the VB system. I presume that is ok and MM should work.<br>
<br>
I thought I would try creating a new connection, but I can't find
a way of doing this from the cli. nm-connection-editor is gnome
app and I don't have gnome installed on my embedded board. I
tried nmtui, nmtui-edit, nmtui-connect, but there are no options
to add a Mobile Broadband connection as there is with nm-connection-editor.<br>
<br>
Is there a nice/easy way of adding a new Mobile Broadband
connection with the cli tools ?<br>
