I have a Sierra Wireless RC7611 LTE module. I've put what I think are the relevant software versions below:
# uname -r 5.4.215 # nmcli --version nmcli tool, version 1.22.10 # mmcli --version mmcli 1.18.12 # qmicli --version qmicli 1.30.8 Normally when the LTE module is powered on it appears as type gsm:
# nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION cdc-wdm0 gsm disconnected -- sit0 iptunnel unmanaged -- tunl0 iptunnel unmanaged -- lo loopback unmanaged -- But I've seen one device where it appears as type modem:
# nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION cdc-wdm0 modem disconnected -- sit0 iptunnel unmanaged -- tunl0 iptunnel unmanaged -- lo loopback unmanaged -- This isn't even a valid type according to the documentation. How is it happening? I'm happy to dive into debugging further but I'm not even sure which part of the ecosystem this is coming from.
