Hello, can you please send me the linux driver for the Module RG255C-GL
Are you sure it is not supported by the standard Linux drivers?
Could you please show the output of cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
Thanks for your reply. Here is the output:

Looks like no driver is detected automatically

This vid:pid is not yet supported by the standard drivers as I can see.
That is probably your QMI interface, but that is very uncommon combination.
What you can do:
# echo "2c7c 0316" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
that should expose a few serial interfaces /dev/ttyUSBx
Find the AT command port (that is probably /dev/ttyUSB2) and switch the modem to MBIM, assuming this mode is supported.
Check the current mode first with AT+QCFG="usbnet" then switch with AT+QCFG="usbnet",2
MBIM driver will pick the interface using class/subclass and not vid:pid.
Run cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices again, this time it should provide slightly different output.
As a precaution, check the Ethernet mode settings:
AT+QCFG="data_interface"
AT+QCFG="pcie/mode"
Hi, I’ve tried your solution, unfortunately, I don’t have this file
/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
Do I need a certain kernel module to be loaded?
# modprobe option
then see if the file is there
Thanks.
this worked so far.
Now i’ve see a wwan0 device, but unfortunatley, I get stack traces in dmesg now, once I try to set the link up:

Also, I can’t access /dev/ttyUSB2 with AT commands anymore. The interface is present, but doesn’t react to AT anymore
Please show what cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices gives you now.

That looks good to me and /dev/ttyUSB2 should respond to AT commands. Maybe you should try to re-connect the modem to the host system.
If the issue with MBIM persists, you can try switching from MBIM to ECM (again, assuming it is supported by this module) by sending AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 to the modem.
dmesg will tell you the new interface name and you will need to run a DHCP client on it.
Hi, I’ve tried rebooting the system multiple times, but I don’t get any AT interface anymore.

dmesg is showing only three interfaces now, instead of four.
Also commands like mbimcli don’t work:
mbimcli --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-proxy --query-device-caps
error: couldn't open the MbimDevice: Transaction timed out
# echo "2c7c 0316" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
needs to be manually run after each reboot or added to some startup script
Make sure the name is correct: ls -l /dev/cdc* and there is no other program like ModemManager trying to access the modem.
Hi, have you managed to solve this issue?
I have what seems to be the same problem. I have RG255C-GL on Debian, kernel 6.1.0-13-amd64.
In MBIM mode I am getting
# mbimcli --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-proxy --query-device-caps
error: couldn't open the MbimDevice: Transaction timed out
If I bind the option driver and run ModemManager, I get up to

When I try without MM I get
AT+CREG?
ERROR
Does the modem need perhaps some non-standard initialization that MM doesn’t perform?
OK, so meanwhile I have got the AT command manual and this is expected behaviour as RG255C does not support +CREG or +CGREG, only +CEREG and +C5GREG.
So the problem seems to be that ModemManager does not recognize RG255C as LTE&5G capable as seen from here:
Anybody has any ideas?
Get rid of MM as I suggested earlier and work on the network registration issue. +CEREG is all what you need in LTE network.
I’m experiencing an issue with the RG255C-GL on Linux and am looking for available drivers. Has anyone found a workaround? I would greatly appreciate any information or suggestions, as I am planning to install it on the OPNsense.
Linux driver workaround is already explained above.
OPNsense is based on FreeBSD where support for modems is historically worse than in Linux.
