Subject of the issue
I recently subscribed to a data plan with ThingsMobile. I can get the autopi to connect if I ssh in and run sudo qmi-manager up, but that doesn’t scale very well to actually using it in my car.
Your environment
Dongle is a Gen2 running 1.21.9 with a Quectel BG96 modem, revision BG96MAR02A07M1G
Steps to reproduce
Connect the dongle to power and after it is fully booted, fur qmi-manager status and it will return error that qmi is not available. Run qmi-manager up and it will start the modem and get an IP address from T-Mobile
Expected behaviour
The modem should connect to the carrier at startup without user intervention.
Have tried creating a cron job to run the qmi-manager commands as well as a job in the ui, but not working. Anyone have a solution?
