Re: RPi-2 Arch multiple modems

Hello all,

I had a Raspberry Pi running Arch with two USB LTE Modems on two
differet
Network operators. This was all working perfectly but suddenly
crashed mid
week. Instead of repairing that old system, I still have it and can
go back to
it, but I decided that I'd grab a new SD card and install the latest
and
greatest.

This is where the problem is I create my two LTE network connections
and
sometimes the network manager seems to be attempting to create
network
connections on the wrong modem. 

When I pulled one modem I powered up and got an IP Address from one
connection
but when I couldn't ping anything I had a look in the network manager
and it's
connected a "Three" operator connection on a "Vodafone" SIM. This
used to work
perfectly.

BTW as both my modems are exactly the same model I can't distinguish
them with
udev rules.



Only recently, on master there are 3 connection properties to match a
gsm-onnection on a device: device-id, sim-id, and sim-operator-id.

I think that would be a solution for you, but the patches are not
backported to nm-1-0 branch.
