ERROR: mbim message timeout - (using umbim on OpenWRT)

[Markus Gothe]

Got SMS working today in umbim... Peter I might give the IP configuration a shot as well now when I have a slight understanding of umbim / mbim. Maybe Sierra Aircards will give out IP-configuration by MBIM.

My tip to get it working is to adopt the structs to the MBIM 1.0 spec and parse the data in the response-function...

I like the way libmbim does all this magic with offsets and I am quite sure one can turn the libmbim JSON-parser to work niceley with umbim, adding some heller functions...

If I was good enough in programming PERL (I did program some cgi-stuff 14 years ago but switched to PHP in the middle of the project for getting rational session-keeping). I would have started by this approach actually.
