I'm still trying to go through logs figuring out what is happening. There
shouldn't be a problem using ModemManager on a travel router, correct? It has
been done before?

Subject: OpenWRT Sierra EM7455 drops connection while driving
I have a Sietta EM7455 LTE modem in a recent Lede build: OpenWrt SNAPSHOT
r6550-83e1fceI'm using a USA Sprint SIM. I did the AT commands to add the
Sprint bands and put the modem in MBIM mode.ModemManager is v1.8.0
/etc/config/network has the following block:config interface 'wwan'
option _orig_ifname 'wwan0' option _orig_bridge 'false' option
proto 'modemmanager' option device
'/sys/devices/platform/ehci-platform/usb1/1-1' option apn 'r.ispsn'
option auth 'none'
When ModemManager starts, no problems with connection. It comes right up, and
mmcli says it's in connect mode.
When I drive, the connection is fine for a while, then drops and I can't bring
it back without rebooting the router. I tried "/etc/init.d/modemmanager
restart" and it will say it has re-connected, but I can't ping out. When I
reboot the router, everything comes back immediately on bootup and I can browse
again.
I put the modem in debug mode and drove around until it failed, attached are
the mm.log from ModemManager in debug mode, and the /var/log/messages from
Lede/OpenWRT
mm.log: https://pastebin.com/GY6k9Qykmessages: https://pastebin.com/aitKE0Mb
Any clue why it won't work while driving around town? It seems like it can't
recover from a tower handoff, but I know the Sierra EM7455 is supposed to be
able to handle that.
ThanksPeter Krause
