Re: QMI support in network-manager-applet

[dag dg <dagofthedofg gmail com>]

Just a side note to clarify. I was able to get this working in Windows
on 4G, and also in Linux on 4G, but I used the libqmi compiled from
source to do so. I run it via

# qmi-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 start
# ifup wwan0

This works with no errors displayed(full net connectivity, decent
ping, no drops), so I'm not sure where ModemManager is having the
issue.
