From my experience, if you intend to manually connect and disconnect the 3G/4G modem, you will need the packages: ppp, wvdial. If you like to use a GUI, gnome-ppp is good. Don’t forget to run it using sudo. 😊
A little research on the internet showed that these are the needed modules:
$ lsmod | grep sierra sierra_net 18936 0 usbnet 44000 3 sierra_net,cdc_mbim,cdc_ncm sierra 19537 0 usbserial 45363 1 sierra
Thanks, I figured these out, but I hadn't thought of wvdial. I only remember wvdial in connection with deadly slow modems in the 1990s... Anyway, I'll give it a try and report here. Cheers, Bernd
