These are what I see:

  • PPP
  • Static Adress
  • PPPoE
  • DHCP client
  • DHCPv6 client
  • Unmanaged

Seems like nothing new
Which one should I choose?

I don't get on what article should I start.

mm

not sure... maybe something to do with @frollic s comment about not needing it... ( or you havent selected the interface properly or installed it properly )?

Hmm, maybe I forgot something. I'll either reinstall the system or reinstall modemmanager. Thanks.
:wink:

I reinstalled the system, (OpenWRT) and modemmanager. Still nothing. Is there any additional configuration or are there kernel mods that are needed?

i'm not an expert on 3g-modem stuff... just seen it around...

depends on dbus afaik (luci-proto-modemmanger?)

I did install dbus:

How does one enable dark mode in openwrt?

  1. Make sure you have everything you need installed on your system.

  2. It is possible that the modem also needs to be configured.

I'm sorry, the first link is in chesh or something.
[EDIT] Don't worry I used google translate

alright, but where do I get it?

I will die because of this much configuration!

How many modems, so many settings and configuration options.

opkg install kmod-usb-core kmod-usb2 usb-modeswitch libusb-1.0
opkg install uqmi kmod-usb-net-qmi-wwan

Sample settings for the QMI modem:
 uci del network.wan
 uci set network.wan=interface
 uci set network.wan.proto=qmi
 uci set network.wan.device=/dev/cdc-wdm0
 uci set network.wan.apn=internet
 uci commit network
 reboot
