Hello, I'm trying to get the cellular modem on this MF286R to work.
I have installed 3ginfo and luci-app-3ginfo. The Details tab looks like this when trying to use ModemManager, when using just ncm it looks the same, but with some connection statistics (a few kB sent up and down):
Don't mind the useless edit to hide the Cell ID and LAC. Yes, I'm terrible at opsec.

Configuration (is it supposed to show "Absent interface: wan"? ):
I have checked that the APN is correct and the SIM card does not have a PIN. The modem device is /dev/ttyACM0 and I have checked that it responds to AT commands:
AT
OK
ati

When using ModemManager, the "wwan" cellular interface I have created just shows "Error: Connection attempt failed." in luci.

When using NCM, a few kB are sent through the wwan interface, wwan_6 and wwan_4 interfaces are created. None of those interfaces get any addressing, though, so there's no internet connectivity. I have tested both the IPv6 only "internetipv6" APN and the old IPv4 only "internet" APN for my ISP, both result in no addressing of any kind.
I would really appreciate any help on how to get this modem working.
