Re: QMI support in network-manager-applet

[dag dg <dagofthedofg gmail com>]

Ah well that would explain the lack of option. The part that confuses
me is the PPP options. When I use libqmi raw by running "qmi-network
/dev/cdc-wdm0 start; ifup wwan0" it fires up my adapter via the
command line and connects to 4G LTE just fine as wwan0(no ppp). If I
use network manager applet it still connect however when I check
ifconfig it is showing up as ppp0. From my discussions with another
tech I believe that ppp creates some unneeded overhead for this type
of connection, and I'm not even sure if it's connecting via 4G when
done through ppp, or that it's even using the /dev/cdc-wdm0 device to
grab an IP. Am I missing something? Thanks for the help.
