Problems connecting with thinkpad x260 Sierra module

[Alfredo Palhares]

Hello everyone,

I recently got a Lenvovo Thinkpad x260, with a 3G modem built-in, I can't
wait to get it running, but I am having troubles using mmcli.


-> % sudo mmcli -m 2
--simple-connect="pin=1234,apn=internet,user=tmn,password=tmn"

error: modem has no Simple capabilities

What is the other method of of not conneting?  I can't also run a
simple-status.

Here is the details on the modem.
-> % mmcli -m 0

Honestly the man pages are a bit confuse and I can't find instructions for
another method of connecting using mmcli.
Can you guys help me?
