More below. After more more trial and error, I got a little further. I can get the ppp connection started: $ /sbin/route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 80.sub-66-174-1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.200.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 enp3s0 I can do apt updates/upgrades from the command line (via ssh) $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade # this works This is with the tethered phone connected directly to the freedombox'x usb port, not via a proxy on another local machine like I described earlier. Per the online manual in the wiki, I tried to make the network manager aware of the new connection: $ sudo nmcli con add con-name "ppp" ifname "ppp0" type cdma $ sudo nmcli con modify "ppp" connection.zone external and the "Networks" page presented by plinth now has the "ppp" connection listed, but it's inactive. Clicking the "Activate" button has no effect. It says "Activated connection ppp" but the button never turns green. Tried this before and after deactivating the "Freedombox WAN" interface, in case there is a limitation of only one external interface. After de-activating the Freedombox WAN interface: $ nmcli connection NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE FreedomBox LAN enp3s0 a8e95667-240c-48bb-98be-0ee4a97c1fc2 802-3-ethernet enp3s0 FreedomBox LAN enp2s0 a7aaf4a1-a558-4cac-9f9e-a7a078492efb 802-3-ethernet -- FreedomBox WAN 51461052-3d5d-4261-8b49-727dd11b6c6b 802-3-ethernet -- ppp f2cc6f30-1726-42c2-b580-3ac8a98a21ec cdma -- $ nmcli device DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION enp3s0 ethernet connected FreedomBox LAN enp3s0 ttyACM0 cdma disconnected -- enp1s0 ethernet disconnected -- enp2s0 ethernet unavailable -- lo loopback unmanaged -- ppp0 unknown unmanaged -- Looks like I have some confusion as to what the network manager uses to identify what it deals with. Why are both ttyACM0 and ppp0 listed under "DEVICE"? Is there a way to associate "ttyACM0" with ppp0 under nmcli? Is this necessary? No surprise then that anything else is not working from the web interface. > > your phone only provides PPP, you will have configure that from 'nmtui' > > from command line (Plinth does not do PPP connections yet) Even with the ppp connection up and running, nmtui only sees the 3 ethernet connections. > ...
