hp-lt4132 'unavailable' in NetworkManager on Debian 10

[Focke Christian]

Yes I know, but with NM-GNOME and nmcli it doesn't work at all; that's where I started from.

Actually it was you who instructed me to use mmcli to analyse the issue on MM side.

Kind regards, Christian

Hey!


thanks; the modem is plugged to the mainboard, so no simple plugging-in; instead, I did this


$ mmcli -m 0 --simple-connect="apn=a1.net,

<mailto:user=ppp at a1plus.at>

user=ppp at a1plus.at

,password=ppp"

$ # sleep some time

$ mmcli -m 0 --simple-disconnect



You should not use mmcli for anything, maybe that's the problem? If

you manually run mmcli like you did above, no other application is

going to setup the wwan network interface for you, that is totally

expected.


If you want to use NetworkManager (so that it's NM the one setting up

the network interface), you should create some WWAN modem settings for

NetworkManager (e.g. using System Settings in GNOME, or whatever other

desktop you use). Once the settings have been set up, you should be

able to connect/disconnect the modem using nmcli (not mmcli) and/or

using your desktop network settings control.
