The issue is that you have enabled unsolicited response codes. Several possable solutions 1) add +CREG=0 to your init string to disable. 2) perhaps nm should be able to parse the response string and match it to a regex expression rather than a fixed string. What is important is the the modem is reg

Hi, The 5530 string triggers me... :-) I would believe it to be some other vendor than broadcom. It probably would be supported by the mbm plugin. The reason you get errors on atz is because it uses at&f instead (an alias sort of to atz) Also, the modem comes up with cfun=4 (rf disabled) and an
