Need a driver?

I think there are a few USB standards for IPv4/IPv6 bridges (CDC and more), namely, it should not require a specific driver.






No. It's just PPP over USB CDC. In theory you could even use it with the FreeDOS USB drivers and Windows 3.11's network drivers if you were willing to write the appropriate modem script.

I wonder if the 4G/5G PPP commands are well "standard". For instance, network scan, network selection, mode selection 4G/5G/auto, SMS, pin, etc. Or you have to pass some custom AT commands via PPP.

Is everything documented and public for this modem?


>Is everything documented and public for this modem?

LMAO I've found typos in the manufacturers documentation. It's actually terrible. It's one of those situations where so many people use it though you can usually find what you need on a wiki.

>I wonder if the 4G/5G PPP commands are well "standard".

Absolutely not but modem manager and network manager is pretty good at figuring a lot of it out these days.
