[PATCH 0/1] Workaround for rut955 modem initialization

[Reiner Karlsberg]

+1

Actually, I am using the RUT955 running PPP, _not_ qmi.
For the requirement (or precaution) of a reset of the modem, using the GPIO for the RUT955
looks like the proper solution to go.

In the opposite, ZBT confirmed, that on their WE826 there is no wiring
to (power-)reset the installed Quectel EC25.


@Daniel:
Could you please publish a complete shell-script on the openwrt forum, using the GPIO on the RUT955
to reset the EC25 ?

Cheers,

Reiner Karlsberg
