Hi,
Can you please also send me a qmi_wwan_q.c which relates to RM500Q-AE?
I am trying to set it up on kernel 4.14.

The modem is recognized by the system and I can use qmicli to get a connection. Unfortunately, it cannot get an IP with udhcpc. Any hints?

If you would like to try qmicli,

please don’t try the qmi_wwan_q. Please just try the native driver qmi_wwan.

qmicli won’t set ip for wwan0,
If you would like to set ip for RM500Q-AE, please

echo Y > /sys/class/net/wwan0/qmi/raw_ip
and then try udhcpc for wwan0.

The network interface must be set to raw_ip mode,

I am developing a driver for use a RM510Q-GLHA device in a Jetsson Nano and I need the file for setup the wwan connectivity. The USBtty connection with picocom was yet achieved but I need the qmi_wwan_q.c for complete the driver.

Kind regards

I think the original driver qmi_wwan is also working.
For qmi_wwan_q I can send it to you.
Please check the message.
