[OpenWrt-Devel] QMI data mode cannot set raw-ip due to active device

[Shannon Barber]

I'm doing several builds and testing different devices and this issue is persistent on the x86_64 build for the PC Engine APU hardware.
(I did not encounter it on the Espressobin v7 hardware.)

I have several modems but I am testing with a Sierra Wireless MC7455 which seems to be a popular one that is also raw-ip only.
As a quick-fix bringing the interface down and back up where the /lib/netifd/proto/qmi.sh script attempts to change-over to raw-ip seems to work but I'm not certain if its "the right way" to fix this issue. It seems to take a while so I think it's retrying later and working the second time.


                echo "Device does not support 802.3 mode. Informing driver of raw-ip only for $ifname .."
                ifconfig $ifname down
                echo "Y" > /sys/class/net/$ifname/qmi/raw_ip
                ifconfig $ifname up


Some snippets from the kernel log:
