Hello, running a roaming SIM card on a Quectel EC25 USB dongle, i got issue with traffic running through interface for only a minute every 10minutes.
AT+QCFG=“nwscanmode”,3 and AT+QCFG=“roamservice”,2 are sent once on every boot.
After pppd startup, i let a ping command running : “ping -Ippp0 1.1.1.1” to check connectivity (an ICMP packet is sent every seconds). Every ~10minutes, nothing goes through interface anymore until everything is unlocked for a minute (~350/400 first blocked ping get an echo, and new pings are received within ~60ms)
am335x-evm:~# ping -Ippp0 1.1.1.1

This issue is not seen using a local operator SIM card on the same dongle; or the same SIM card on a Huawei dongle.
Any idea of what may cause this issue, and how i can fix it ?
Best regards,
Romain
