org.freedesktop.libmbim.Error.Status.Failure: Failure

[Hugo Osvaldo Barrera]

Hi again,

I'm not entirely sure which information in the logs is private, so
opted for sending it off-list.

I've also made sure to enable roaming by using:

    mmcli -m 0 --simple-connect="pin=1234,profile-id=1,allow-roaming=yes"

But the result is the same. I'm unsure how to debug further, but I see:

    <dbg> [modem0/bearer0] cannot set MBIM status error as connection error: Failure 

Does this mean that mbim itself it returning an error?

I found a few pages and issue point to the following troubleshooting page:

  https://modemmanager.org/docs/modemmanager/debugging/

It current returns 404, as does all of https://modemmanager.org/. Is this because
of the recent FDO migration?

Thanks,
