Dear All, please help... I cant get my wwan modem to work on a current debian testing buster system: >Linux karl-acer2 4.15.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.15.17-1 (2018-04-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux

However, its no good, i can apparently send data out, but nothing comes back. As you can see in the attached image of modemmanager-gui, data is being sent out, but nothing comes back. Internet is dead, i cant ping anything. Internet searches come up with this thread: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2485&start=0 However, i checked, the cdc_ncm patch is already included in the module for my kernel. Then again, in cdc_ncm.c i find this paragraph: /* Reset data interface. Some devices will not reset properly * unless they are configured first. Toggle the altsetting to * force a reset. * Some other devices do not work properly with this procedure * that can be avoided using quirk CDC_MBIM_FLAG_AVOID_ALTSETTING_TOGGLE So maybe my modem has a problem with that patch ? I have not yet found out how to apply quirk CDC_MBIM_FLAG_AVOID_ALTSETTING_TOGGLE, how do you set that ? I already contacted the modeswitch guys, who recommended the modemmanager list: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2784 In summary, i can force my modem into cdc_mbim mode, but it does not work. Any help appreciated. Cheers, KK
