Can neither see "wwan" interface, nor does network work in Sierra-modem-in-QMI-mode

Thanks Thomas !!!

Following algorithm "mostly"  works ::


##############################################################
a)
Check whether the required bearer already exists, via ::

               mmcli -m 0 --list-bearers
               mmcli -b /path/of/bearer/as/returned/by/above/command

If yes, then go to step c).

b)
               mmcli -m 0 --create-bearer="apn=airtelgprs.com"

c)
               mmcli -m 0 --simple-connect="apn=airtelgprs.com"

d)
               dhclient -r wwan0
               dhclient wwan0
##############################################################

In everything goes right, then telnet/ping work fine.

In the beginning, I said "mostly", because the last step (dhclient wwan0)
hangs 8/10 times. Whenever this happens, the only remedy that I have found
so far is rebooting the machine.


Is there a saner way to have the "dhclient wwan0" work fine every time?


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
