That is perfect now. > I could not get a dhcp client to work, but manually setting an address with > "ip addr" and doing a ping through the interface with "ping -i wwp0s29f7u5i8 > 8.8.8.8" did yield results.

But that's why ModemManager explicitly states the static IP config, if you set that config, you won't need a DHCP client (if you use NetworkManager as well, all that will be automatically done for you). > From googling around I found this: > https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2015-December/msg00042.html > > I guess this means that MC7455 will only work in kernel 4.5 due to better > raw-ip support? Yes, yes, forgot to explicitly mention that to you. The first official release with the new raw-ip support is 4.5, although there are some previous rc versions which already have it. -- Aleksander https://aleksander.es _______________________________________________ ModemManager-devel mailing list ModemManager-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/modemmanager-devel
