Notes:
- 1) [DEVICE] is given as the full path to the cdc-wdm character device,
e.g.:
- /dev/cdc-wdm0
- 2) The mbim-network script requires a profile to work. Unless explicitly
specified with `--profile', the file is assumed to be available in the
following path:
- /etc/mbim-network.conf
- 3) The APN to use should be configured in the profile, in the following
way (e.g. assuming APN is called 'internet'):
- APN=internet
- 4) Optional APN user/password strings may be given in the following
way:
- APN_USER=user APN_PASS=password
- 5) If APN user/password is specified, the authentication protocol to use
(one of PAP, CHAP or MSCHAPV2) must also be specified in the following
way:
- APN_AUTH=protocol
- 6) If you want to instruct the mbim-network script to use the mbim-proxy
setup, you can do so by configuring the following line in the
profile:
- PROXY=yes
- 7) Once the mbim-network script reports a successful connection you still
need to run a DHCP client on the associated WWAN network interface.
