I need to connect to the internet via a TP-Link MA260. After spending hours with usb_modeswitch and other tools, I finally got the device to be recognised as a modem and have the interface wwan0.
I've tried various commands and configs with wvdial, but, I just can't seem to get it to connect.
After reading up many guides, I heard about Network Manager's CLI, so, I installed network manager on to Ubuntu Server.
When I perform nmcli nm it shows
RUNNING STATE WIFI-HARDWARE WIFI WWAN-HARDWARE WWAN
running connected enabled enabled enabled disabled
I then spent so long looking around the internet, and I stumbled upon this question: How to enable/disable mobile broadband from terminal?, which got me a little further, however, all answers refer to nmcli -t con up id "bla".
No matter what I try, I can't work out how to create "bla", or how I should define the 3G settings, and even when I do find it, I'm not sure what to write.
I found a guide that says that I have to type nmcli con xx, but, edit or add don't seem like valid options and I am stuck.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to connect?
