Ok here's the output of modem manager in debug, I've removed all the

lengthy so I've attached it as a text document.

Are you able to test with the new "aleksander/novatel-fixes" branch from
git? The main problem was that the Novatel plugin didn't allow QMI
modems yet, it should allow them now.

Dan, quick review of the branch?

Do we want those driven by Novatel or by Generic though?


If we can grab them by the Novatel plugin, I think we should. We don't
want all QMI modems to be handled by the Generic plugin, as that would
mean handling all QMI modems with QMI... and I don't think we should do
that e.g. for ZTE QMI modems (which are not handled with QMI currently,
as they suck).

The branch works and is fine, but the problem with using the Novatel
plugin is that it takes a lot longer to probe than the Generic one, due
to the $NWDMAT=1 stuff that the plugin does, which is completely
unecessary on the QMI-capable devices.  I'm not sure there's a good way
to suppress that given that we're not sure if the modem has a QMI port
at the time we send the DMAT=1 stuff.
