No dhcpoffer on HL Serie

[Stefan Gruber]

Hi
I am working with a HL Module from Sierra Wireless on an embedded Debian System (so not all modules are include). I can configure it on PPP and get access to the Internet.
But I have problems with the MBIM Interface.
I get a cdc-wdm0 device and try to get it up with mbim-network.

mbim-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 start
Loading profile...
    APN: internet.telekom
Querying subscriber ready status 'mbimcli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --query-subscriber-ready-status --no-close'...

Attaching to packet service with 'mbimcli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --attach-packet-service --no-open=4 --no-close'...

Starting network with 'mbimcli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --connect=internet.telekom --no-open=5 --no-close'...
Network started successfully

My /etc/mbim-network.conf:

APN=internet.telekom
APN_AUTH=PAP


When I now want a IP I use dhclient

dhclient -v wwan0

And I have no access to the internet...


When I use ModemManager I get the same. Here are the Outputs:

mmcli -m 0 -e
successfully enabled the modem
mmcli -m 0

When I now run dhclient I get the same like above except with another MAC of wwan0

Listening on LPF/wwan0/86:c9:99:98:f1:4f
Sending on   LPF/wwan0/86:c9:99:98:f1:4f
Sending on   Socket/fallback


Should I configure the gateway + DNS of the wwan0 Interface manually? I can myself not explain what I am doing wrong.
I read somewhere they use a 4G Dongle on a Raspberry and use usb_modeswitch to enter QMI mode...
