       mbim-network [OPTIONS] [DEVICE] [COMMAND]

DESCRIPTION

       Simple network management of MBIM devices

   Commands:
       start  Start network connection

       stop   Stop network connection

       status Query network connection status

       --version
              Show version

       Notes:

              1) [DEVICE] is given as the full path to the cdc-wdm character device, e.g.:

              /dev/cdc-wdm0

              2)  The  mbim-network  script  requires  a  profile  to  work.  Unless  explicitly  specified with
              `--profile', the file is assumed to be available in the following path:

              /etc/mbim-network.conf

              3) The APN to use should be configured in the profile, in the following way (e.g. assuming APN  is
              called 'internet'):

              APN=internet

              4) Optional APN user/password strings may be given in the following way:

              APN_USER=user APN_PASS=password

              5)  If  APN  user/password  is  specified, the authentication protocol to use (one of PAP, CHAP or
              MSCHAPV2) must also be specified in the following way:

              APN_AUTH=protocol

              6) If you want to instruct the mbim-network script to use the mbim-proxy setup, you can do  so  by
              configuring the following line in the profile:

              PROXY=yes

              7)  Once  the  mbim-network  script  reports  a successful connection you still need to run a DHCP
              client on the associated WWAN network interface.
