In bash with modem-manager I can see that modem is there and I can connect with modem manager:

I connected with this command:
mmcli -m 0 --simple-connect="apn=internet"
successfully connected the modem
But still no IP address:

From the old thread I tried this command
(without really understanding what it actually does)
qmi-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 start
But the result says WDA unsupported

Is there any additional setup / config needed?
