This is what it looks like here:

Not sure but it does seem like an issue with reading the status of the SIM card. If it's dualsim (it lists two SIM cards in mmcli output) then you may need to specify -i index to select the right SIM card.

Could you please unplug the modem, then open a terminal, as root run
Code: Select all
journalctl -af

then leave that running, plugin the modem again, then wait like 30 seconds or so until no new output appears (the modem is usually mode-switched at least once in between from mass-storage to modem mode, this may take a while depending on the modem) and afterwards post all the output here.

let's take it in order:
1) this is a Mini PCI-E modem (page 9)
2) after enabling, before entering the user password:

Setup a broadband/3G connection via your preferred networkmanager frontend.

I used drakconnect, this as a result I get the error "No sim card found".
Modem Manager GUI-sends SMS, USSD sends, modem, network sees, but does not connect to the Internet - thinks for a long time and does not do anything...

Code: Select all

close the topic.
I do not know what exactly helped, but I will write (suddenly someone will come in handy) what I did:
1. On the tablet, Mageia was first installed during the 6th version, removed all mga6 packages
2. Removed all mga7 packages
3. Switched to NetworkManager under the guidance of Wiki
4. For SMS, USSD requests, "Modem Manager GUI" is installed

Now everything works, the modem establishes the connection automatically. The speed is so-so, I'm thinking of changing to 4G

Thank you all for participating
