Hello All,
I have my OpenWrt running on a custom IMx.6 based board. It has an embedded Sierra Wireless modem, which I am able to create the ppp interface and appear to connect to; however, I cant seem to ping out.
I have an IP and a gateway, but the only thing that looks wrong to me is the state of the interface is UNKNOWN when I run ip addr show.
Here are some relevant outputs:
cat /etc/config/network

Notably, when I try to ping out from that interface ping -I ppp-ppp 8.8.8.8, it just seems to hang forever and I never get any output.
I really thought once I got the ppp interface made everything would work, so this is a real bummer at this point. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated!
