Description Morton Pellung 2024-04-26 18:54:46 UTC

Current packages of ModemManager (for WWAN internet while traveling) in Gentoo tree are:
1.18.12 and ~1.20.6

Testing with my Fibocom L830,
1.18.12 works fine :-),
however 1.20.6 does NOT :-(, it gets stuck on "connection state 7/10"

A new stable 1.22.x series was released about half a year ago.
The brand-new Ubuntu 24.04 uses 1.23.4 - seemingly a snapshot from unstable.


After spending half a day of testing with live images:

Ubuntu 22.04 with MM 1.20.0 and Ubuntu 23.10 with MM 1.20.6
...my Fibocom WWAN does NOT work, same error as 1.20.6 in Gentoo

Fedora 40 with MM 1.22.0
...this is a weird one, WWAN card is not even detected? (but I have no exp with Fedora)

Ubuntu 24.04 with MM 1.23.4
...works with my Fibocom L830 out of the box :-)
...with a patch also works with Fibocom L860-GL-16, as used by recent Lenovo ThinkPads

Note: Official Lenovo WWAN support requires MM 1.22+: https://github.com/lenovo/lenovo-wwan-unlock
 

Summary:
Please keep 1.18 in tree for now.
1.20 appears broken (for me).
1.22 could be too?

...can we have a MM 1.23 as a masked build for testing? :-)
