DESCRIPTION

       --version

       Notes:

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

	      /dev/cdc-wdm0

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

	      /etc/qmi-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) Optional IP_TYPE strings may be given in the following way:

	      IP_TYPE=[4|6]

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

	      PROXY=yes

	      7)  To  instruct	the  qmi-network script to use an already existing Profile ID, or to create a new one on the
	      fly, use the following configuration in the profile:

       PROFILE=number
	      # to use the profile-id number

       PROFILE=auto
	      # to create a temporary profile on the fly

	      8) Once the qmi-network script reports a successful connection you still need to run a DHCP client on the	 as‐
	      sociated WWAN network interface.
