Dan,

Thank you - I now have data passing through the EM7455:
 - Lenovo ACC100290 purchased from Amazon which has firmware configured for MBIM
 - Linux 4.10 kernel
 - libmbim-1.15.0

I got a bit hung up about the transaction id's, forgetting I needed to
leave the connection open and re-use the transaction id's for future
commands like 'query-ip-configuration'. I notice some mbimcli commands
need to make sure not to re-open and others don't. Is there a simple
rule about this?

I did find 'query-packet-statistics' never returns anything but 0's:
root at ventana:~# mbimcli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --query-packet-statistics
[/dev/cdc-wdm0] Packet statistics:
           Octets (in): '0'
          Packets (in): '0'
         Discards (in): '0'
           Errors (in): '0'
          Octets (out): '0'
         Packets (out): '0'
        Discards (out): '0'
          Errors (out): '0'

Thanks for your help!
