VyOS & LTE modem

@syncer

Hello,
you almost for sure will get issues with drivers, 1.1.x is pretty old
1.2 betas is more freshier, but it still far away from stable
I’m not sure if ppp will work, will check with devs

Thanks for the above. I’m running the latest beta anyway since stable 1.1.7 does not want to install. Just two questions now:

1. When will devs answer?
2. Where can I get any changelogs for betas?

Thanks!

EDIT:

I installed modem today and it’s showing up in the system:

michal@vyos:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1199:68c0 Sierra Wireless, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Also, I’ve got two new devices. That means qmi_wwan driver is loaded correctly:

michal@vyos:~$ ls /dev/cdc
cdc-wdm0 cdc-wdm1

Just to confirm I run dmesg:

[ 9.927826] qmi_wwan 1-4.3:1.8: cdc-wdm0: USB WDM device
[ 9.928091] qmi_wwan 1-4.3:1.8 wwan0: register ‘qmi_wwan’ at usb-0000:00:14.0-4.3, WWAN/QMI device, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Now, how to use the damn thing now?

EDIT2:

From linux commands I can get to the following:

Unfortunately WWAN0 and WWAN1 do not show as interfaces in VyOS config cli anywhere. I guess they should be appearing in interfaces->wirelessmodem or elsewhere… Any good idea?
