Regression regarding ip_type when updating from 1.10.4 to 1.12.0

[Amol Lad]

Sorry for basic question. How to you set ip_type to ANY in OpenWrt conf (below). I tried : option iptype 'any' but it did not work

config interface 'wwan'
        option device '/sys/devices/platform/soc/soc:internal-regs/f10f8000.usb3/usb5/5-1'
        option proto 'modemmanager'
        option apn 'internet'
        option roaming '1'
        option iptype 'ipv4'

Hi Dan,

thank you for your feedback.

My concern is to get Dualstack if available and any kind of Connectivity if it's not.

So I like your outline above very much and if ModemManager could guarantee that behaviour independetly of the actual modem driver I'd happily switch to pass ANY in the bearer an be done with it.
