A few examples of functionality offered by ModemManager are: initialisation of the modem connecting to the Internet sending/receiving SMS firmware upgrades for select QMI-based modems. Installing In menuconfig, ModemManager is located under the Network section. Kernel modules You probably need to include the kernel module for your modem in your firmware image, or on running firmware via opkg. Common ones which should get most modems working to some extent are: opkg update && opkg install kmod-usb-serial kmod-usb-net kmod-usb-serial-wwan kmod-usb-serial-option kmod-usb-net-qmi-wwan kmod-usb-net-cdc-mbim MBIM Support ModemManager supports MBIM modems. You can include MBIM support by selecting it under the Configuration section in ModemManager's menuconfig entry. QMI Support ModemManager supports QMI modems. You can include QMI support by selecting it under the Configuration section in ModemManager's menuconfig entry. Use ModemManager abstracts the configuration of your modems into standard Linux network interfaces. The example below illustrates a typical configuration: /etc/config/network config interface 'broadband' option device '/sys/devices/platform/soc/20980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2.1' option proto 'modemmanager' option apn 'ac.vodafone.es' option username 'vodafone' option password 'vodafone' option pincode '7423' option lowpower '1' The available options are optiontyperequireddescription devicestringXFull sysfs path of the device, for example /sys/devices/platform/soc/20980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2.1.
