A Cure for the Moble Data Blues (KDE Community Edition)

[dcinoz]

Here's a quick script (note that it doesn't have the --append-dns so it doesn't use the operator DNS):

Code:

#!/bin/bash
COLUMNS=15
PS3="Select the action: "
options=(Mobile_on Mobile_off Data_on Data_off quit)
select opt in "${options[@]}"
do

WWAN="wwan0"

case $opt in
Mobile_on)
        ofonoctl poweron   
    ofonoctl online
        sudo systemctl restart ofono ofonoctl
    sleep 5
        ofonoctl
        break
        ;;

Mobile_off)
    ofonoctl offline   
        ofonoctl poweroff
        sudo systemctl restart ofono
        ofonoctl
        break
        ;;

Data_on)
        ofonoctl poweron
        ofonoctl online
        sudo ip link set dev $WWAN up
    str=$(ofonoctl wan | grep $WWAN)
    #echo "str=["$str"]"
    #if [ str == "" ]; then
            sudo ofonoctl wan --connect
    #fi
    ip_addr=$(ip a | grep $WWAN | awk '/inet / {gsub("addr:","",$2); print $2}')
    #echo "ip_addr="$ip_addr
    ip_route=$(ip r | grep $WWAN | grep default)
    #echo "ip_route="$ip_route
    sudo ip r del $ip_route
    #echo "Adding route "$ip_route" proto dhcp metric 900"
    sudo ip r add $ip_route proto dhcp metric 900
    echo "ip a:"
    ip a | grep $WWAN
    echo "ip r:"
       ip r | grep $WWAN
        break
        ;;

Data_off)
    ip_addr=$(ip a | grep $WWAN | awk '/inet / {gsub("addr:","",$2); print $2}')
    sudo ip link set dev $WWAN down
    sudo ip a del $ip_addr dev $WWAN
    echo "ip a:"
    ip a | grep $WWAN
    echo "ip r:"
        ip r | grep $WWAN
    break
    ;;

quit)
        break
        exit
        ;;

"")
        echo "Invalid input."
        ;;
esac
done

read -p "Press enter to exit."

Adjust / correct as required. Hopefully it works most of the time until things are fixed by the devs.

Note that the wwan0 default route has a higher metric (900) than the wifi metric (600) so wifi has priority if it is on.

Hope @neil2ball might be able to help, even though turning modem on, ofonoctl says registered, no ringing on incoming call, and no text message.
Do you reckon eg25-manager needs to be restart too?

As it stands, 1) does not work yet...

Thought the poweroff was the culprit so I removed it. Makes no difference.
Still when you do:

Code:

ofonoctl offline

you get:

Code:

Modem         Status     SIM
------------  ---------  -------
quectelqmi_0  Unpowered  Unknown

As soon 2) is run, running 1) gives you the registration message. Running 3) gets mobile data working. But no incoming calls or SMS / text messages....
