and here the dmesg result :

We already config and Add VID and PID for EC200T-CN in kernel option.c :

#define QUECTEL_VENDOR_ID			0x2c7c
/* These Quectel products use Quectel's vendor ID */
#define QUECTEL_PRODUCT_EC200T_CN		0x6000

{ USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(QUECTEL_VENDOR_ID, QUECTEL_PRODUCT_EC200T_CN, 0xff, 0, 0) },

also already add Zero Packet Mechanism and Reset-resume Mechanism as well
But the modem always failed dialed up. Pls help me resolve it…Thank you !

You forgot to load the driver (cdc_ether).
I’m not sure this modem is supported by MM, but you can use other methods, see Quectel EC200T-CN LTE module not working in OpenWrt - Network and Wireless Configuration - OpenWrt Forum

I got it working in 7620a openwrt 22.03.3 uing rndis.
However some ISP do have dial failed cases. I am still looking into it.

I’ve added the driver and got the result as above, but I still can’t ping to internet (like google dns - 8.8.8.8)
do yo know the problem?

I check in ifconfig get like this :

usb0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 02:0C:29:A3:9B:6D
          inet addr:192.168.43.100  Bcast:192.168.43.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

and I still cannot ping to internet

root@IoteraOPi:~# ping 8.8.8.8 -I usb0
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes

can you tell me the settings to be able to connect to the internet using rndis?

You need to establish a connection first as shown in OpenWrt forum.
