💖 QMI-NETWORK 💖

okay bestie, so qmi-network is a user command (manual section 1, iykyk) and it's literally just simple network management of QMI devices. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qmi-network [OPTIONS] [DEVICE] [COMMAND]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Simple network management of QMI devices 💅

like. that's it. that's the girl. she manages your QMI device's network situation and she does it simply. no cap.

🎀 Commands:

  • start — start network connection 🔥
  • stop — stop network connection 🛑
  • status — query network connection status 👀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --profile=[PATH] — use the profile in the specified path. (PATH is a placeholder, plug your own in bestie)
  • --help — show help options 🙈
  • --version — show version 🏷️

💜 Notes:

  1. [DEVICE] is given as the full path to the cdc-wdm character device, e.g.:
/dev/cdc-wdm0
  1. The qmi-network script requires a profile to work. Unless you explicitly specify it with --profile, the file is assumed to be available in the following path:
/etc/qmi-network.conf
  1. The APN to use should be configured in the profile, in the following way (e.g. assuming APN is called internet):
APN=internet
  1. Optional APN user/password strings may be given in the following way:
APN_USER=user APN_PASS=password
  1. Optional IP_TYPE strings may be given in the following way:
IP_TYPE=[4|6]
  1. If you want to instruct the qmi-network script to use the qmi-proxy setup, you can do so by configuring the following line in the profile:
PROXY=yes
  1. To instruct the qmi-network script to use an already existing Profile ID, or to create a new one on the fly, use the following configuration in the profile:
    • PROFILE=number — # to use the profile-id number
    • PROFILE=auto — # to create a temporary profile on the fly
  2. Once the qmi-network script reports a successful connection you still need to run a DHCP client on the associated WWAN network interface. yes fr fr, the script does not do that part for you. 💀
