Yes, that is because ModemManager won't launch pppd for you. It only tells you that the newly created bearer is ready to run PPP on the specified interface. If you're using NetworkManager as well, NetworkManager would be responsible for doing that. Otherwise, you'll need some other step in your scripts (assuming you're scripting over mmcli) to run pppd yourself. The same will happen if the bearer tells you "dhcp" or "static". In the former, you should launch a DHCP client yourself in the net interface; in the latter, you should set the given IP/netmask/gateway... yourself in the net interface. -- Aleksander https://aleksander.es _______________________________________________ ModemManager-devel mailing list ModemManager-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/modemmanager-devel
