commit 1093c124b4cb introduced a hard dependency on libqmi

2019-03-12 Thread Ben Chan
The following commit introduced a hard dependency on libqmi for the dell plugin: commit 1093c124b4cb "dell,dw5821e: use DMS extension method to load properly formatted firmware version" so ModemManager fails to build under --without-qmi. Aleksander, we should probably extend the gitlab CI to tes

Random MM and/or qmi-proxy hang?

2019-03-12 Thread Bowden, Brendan
Hello, Not sure if this is actually MM or libqmi related, so trying here first; let me know if I need to take this to libqmi-devel instead. Having an odd issue that seems to be tied to MM’s interaction with qmi-proxy. We’d been noticing that ModemManager will occasionally stop responding to DBu

Start ModemManager service after Polkit service

2019-03-12 Thread Stelling2 Carsten

Signal Quality value with LTE modems

2019-03-12 Thread Sven Schwermer
Hi, I’m wondering what factors into the Signal Quality value for LTE modems. My suspicion is that only the “Signal” field of the +CIND message is used, but if I understood the manual for the ublox LARA-R211 correctly, that’s a poor quantity to use for this purpose as it only represents the RSSI
