SYNOPSIS

mbim-network [OPTIONS] [DEVICE] [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

Simple network management of MBIM devices

Commands:

stop: Stop network connection

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.
