Netgear 340u

[Noah Taber]

Hello,

I have gotten the 340u to work temporarily using the closed source drivers
referenced on this site:

http://wes.skeweredrook.com/raspberry-pi-att-beam/

Everything worked for a few days, then it stopped working.  My computer
would just crash.  So, I decided to move on to libqmi.

I've been trying to get the netgear 340u to work with libqmi for the last
week and am about ready to give up.  Below is pertinent dmesg info:

[ 1659.004288] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=1199,

If I execute 'sudo qmi-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 start' I get the following
output:

error: couldn't create client for the 'dms' service: QMI protocol error
(3): 'Internal'
Starting network with 'qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0
--wds-start-network=broadcast  --client-no-release-cid'...
error: couldn't start network: QMI protocol error (26): 'NoEffect'
Saving state... (CID: 10)
error: network start failed, no packet data handle
Clearing state...

I did install the linux patch as recommended by the netgear support page
for the 340u.

I would like to direct your attention to this post:

commit 69c0239869825d9304f10fd05960f5150683f046

    mbim-network: query ready status and registration state before
connecting

    Some modems (such as the 340u) requre these two queries before it
    will attach to the packet service.

Would you happen to know if there is a qmicli equivalent to the query ready
status and registration state mbim commands?  Am I on the right track with
all of this.

Please let me know if there is some magic to all of this.

Thank you.

Noah
