I am having a problem with cell modem. No WWAN adapter found is what I see in setting + mobile. When I run mmcli -m O in terminal I get error: couldnt find modem and mmcli _L reveals No modems were found. Any help would be appreciated
Do you have a sim card installed ? I think one is necessary, it can be expired or un-activated.

as a start, command "lsusb" in a console, you should see something like this...
Code: mobian@mobian:~$ lsusb
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 2c7c:0125 Quectel Wireless Solutions Co., Ltd. EC25 LTE modem

Thats exactly what I see when I run lsusb. Can you advise on any other commands or fixes. My next move is to install a fresh OS on a SD and boot from that. If I see the cell modem and it works I know its on the software end.

Yes I have a sim installed. I tried a new one just cause and still nothing

Have you tried different releases ?
Not every Nightly release works "Out of the Box"
But Most Nightly releases do work... at least for me.
Nightly September 19, 20 appear to have some faults with calls, I am downloading Sept. 21 at the moment.

Something in a Bookworm upgrade just broke my cellular modem. It's not there anymore. Cold reboot and even battery removal does not bring it back. I booted to the old Mobian on the Megous multi boot and it worked fine.
I've found a method to restore the modem after every Bookworm boot, but it's a PITA:
1. I run Modem Manager GUI. It detects the modem and, after I activate it with my cellular carrier using the "Activate" button, I can place calls.
However, there is no signal strength / mobile icon in the the top status bar and the "Settings" ap does not have a "Mobile" entry / button so no mobile network management features are available.
2. To make everything work again,
Code: sudo systemctl restart phosh.service
does the trick!
