SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Simple network management of MBIM devices

status: Query network connection status

OPTIONS

--profile=,[PATH]/: Use the profile in the specified path
--help, -h: Show help options
--version: Show version

Notes:

: 1) [DEVICE] is given as the full path to the cdc-wdm character device, e.g.:
: ,/dev/cdc-wdm0/
: 2) The mbim-network script requires a profile to work. Unless explicitly specified with `--profile', the file is assumed to be available in the following path:
: ,/etc/mbim-network.conf/
: 3) The APN to use should be configured in the profile, in the following way (e.g. assuming APN is called 'internet'):
: APN=internet
: 4) Optional APN user/password strings may be given in the following way:
: APN_USER=user APN_PASS=password
: 5) If APN user/password is specified, the authentication protocol to use (one of PAP, CHAP or MSCHAPV2) must also be specified in the following way:
: APN_AUTH=protocol
: 6) If you want to instruct the mbim-network script to use the mbim-proxy setup, you can do so by configuring the following line in the profile:
: PROXY=yes
: 7) Once the mbim-network script reports a successful connection you still need to run a DHCP client on the associated WWAN network interface.
