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

DESCRIPTION
       Simple network management of MBIM devices

   Commands:

	      Show help options

       --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	'in‐
	      ternet'):

	      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 as‐
	      sociated WWAN network interface.
