#WWAN

2025-06-27

Y después de 4 dias recibiendo avisos de HOY LLEGA, por fin esta aqui la buscada tarjeta de modem #WWAN para mi #DELL.

Anoche la instalé. No fue fácil porque mis ojos tuvieron problemas para conectar esos pequeños cablecitos de la antena (la edad, eda?). No hubo necesidad de descargar ni instalar nada. La DELL la reconoció a la primera.

Le puse un #SIM de #VirginMobile (que usa la red de Movistar) y les confirmo que ya esta operando perfectamente. Yeiii!

Wenn wer Ärger mit dem #NetworkManager im #AccessPoint Mode hat oder #DHCP, #DNS upstream, DNS port usw. individuell einstellen will...
...ich kann jetzt qualifiziert helfen...🙈

Kein Witz - ich habe sowohl im NetworkManager als auch #dnsmasq jede verfluchte Zeile im Code gelesen und verstanden die das Zusammenspiel beider Dienste im AP-Mode betrifft...

Nachdem ich letztens 12h durch die Sourcen des #NetworkManager getaucht bin... habe ich das heute mit #dnsmasq wiederholt...🙈

Das was ich will geht einfach nicht ohne neu kompilieren des NetworkManager.
2 Zeilen müssten bloß raus - ZWEI...😭

Leider verstehe ich die Argumentation, warum der Maintainer das nicht in die

...läuft ja im Grunde schon seit gut zwei Wochen - aber vieles nur "händisch".

Er läuft aber grundsätzlich so gut, dass ich glaube, dass es sich lohnt die Installation und Configuration auch für Dritte einfach zugänglich zu machen.

Klar, ich habe für mich ne fette Latte Scripts die mir dies und das vereinfachen...

Der #piSpot :

Ich hatte dran gedacht, dass es wie PissPot - gelesen werden kann... und in NL auch wirklich PisPot heißt. Aber ne Suche nach dem Begriff...😱

Siehe Bild... als gut zu suchender Markenname ist piSpot völlig verbrannt...😂

Also ab sofort

#pitSpot ?
oder
#letsSpot ?

Beides macht Sinn. letsDiesUndDas heißen 90% meiner tools.

@fedora Sadly, #Lenovo wronged me as a professional when they refused to support their "#UbuntuCertified" #ThinkPad #P15v's #WWAN module ( #Fibocom #850GL, based on #Intel's #XMM7360 baseband).

  • And that was a €3,5k+ professional device!

Add to that the discontinuation of any #wired - #USB "ThinkPad Compact Keyboard with #UltraNav" and the only reason I've not retired my #X230Tablet for a @frameworkcomputer / #Framework13 or god forbid some #DIY abomination is my belief in #UseLonger!

@rl_dane I wished @frameworkcomputer would do this too, because #Lenovo has #enshittified the #ThinkPad brand so hard and refused to support me with a #P15v (alongside #Canonical #Intel & #Fibocom with regards to getting the #850GL / #XMM7360-based #WWAN working on this €3,5k+ "#UbuntuCertified" System) that I'm gonna go with a #Framework once my #X230Tablet dies.

...artet aus.
Von 06:00 bis jetzt #NetworkManager Sourcen gelesen...😍 🤷‍♂️

Gestern habe ich 12h versucht meine Fragen mittels der Manuals und Foren beantworten zu können.
Ich bin in den #Sourcen (plain #C) so viel schneller und effektiver - all dieses blöde BlaBla in Handbüchern - ich kann das einfach nicht mit meinem #AuDHS.

Den funktionalen Vogel dabei, schießt derzeit ein systemweiter Wrapper für #dnsmasq ab...🧐 🙈 😇 🤷‍♂️

Aber seit dem funktioniert alle bisher realisierte Funktionalität (#eth, #wlan, #wwan und #AccessPoint) ziemlich lecker... #RaspAP brauchte User für wlan und wwan - meine Scripte nicht... 🤓 😎

Ich schätze noch 2 Tage... und ich verlinke mein #piSpot Repository - ob das dann noch #PiHole als #Werbeblocker benötigt mag ich mal ganz stark bezweifeln...🤗

#piSpot Projekt.

Ursprünglich war gedacht mittels #RaspAP und #PiHole einen mobilen Hotspot zu bauen.

Mögliche Internetquellen sollten sein
#eth, #wlan, #wwan + optinal #vpn oder/und #Tor.

#RaspberryPi und #RaspberryPiPico sind als Ziel-Hardware gedacht.

Captive Registrierung sollte automatisch erfolgen und im Passwort-Zweifel auch vom Terminal aus bedient werden können.

Ich hatte das zu 90% ziemlich schnell realisiert - und schon 2 Tage lang in der Stadt alle möglichen Wlan getestet.

@knoppix95 this is nothing new.

#Lenovo almost always offered around €125 discount for "no operating system" and €100 for #UbuntuLTS over #Windows - if they offer any of those options at all

What is a problem is that Lenovo doesn't actually #Support even "#Ubuntu #certified" devices like the #P15v and it's #Intel #XMM7360-based #WWAN chip, the #Fibocom #850GL, at all, and they refuse to provide #drivers for it!

@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.

To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:

Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!

Do laptops with SIM slots present them as smart card devices or are they only available to the modem?

I'm guessing smart cards as there appears to be support for eSIMs.

(Just thinking about WiFi with EAP-SIM)

:boost_ok: #FollowerPower: Or does anyone know any #Android #Tablet that supports native #PhoneCalls & #SMS from it like a #Smartphone using it's built-in #WWAN / #4G / #5G modem that isn't some random chinese import brand like "#Crosscall" or something but actually reputable in delivering #security #updates post-launch?

  • Looking for devices available in the #EU retail. I know enough sources for cheap import tablets...

It's for an eldery person who doesn't have the best eyesight anymore and just want to have something better than the overpriced #Doro / #Gigaset devices that are tiny.

@clubchonky I disagree.

  • OFC @torproject / #Tor never was designed for low-latency, high-bandwith useage, but that's not the point.

IMHO using @guardianproject / #Orbot as a #PerformanceProxy even makes throttled #WWAN networks bearable!

  • In terms of scale, Tor is pretty good and if all peers are within Tor, shit works just fine...

#WhatsMissing is an #Android-#ROM that is the equivalent of @tails_live / @tails / #Tails, which includes @torproject / #Tor and @guardianproject / #Orbot support from the get-go and forces everything through Tor (system-wide #Torification) if not only allows to connect to #OnionSedvices using #orWall...

  • Because that would have a similar audience and really complement peoples' needs.

Ideally make it like an #image file to put on a #RaspberryPi #CM5 / #CM4 / #Pi400 / #Pi500 / #Pi4 / #Pi5 to work with a bunch of #WWAN modules for #data, #SMS & #calling (needed with some SIMs to get shit done)...

@OldManTV @marcan The only disadvantages the @frameworkcomputer has is that they dont't support #ToolFree #HotSwapping of #batteries (which is essential to me!) nor have a 3rd M.2 (or MiniPCIe) slot for a #WWAN module (which is kinda important for many business setups, but then again could be fixed with like a #5G #module that plugs into the side with an external antenna. Problem may just be size constraints similar to the 2,5G Ethernet adaptor...)

@mvilain @dangillmor @pluralistic yeah...

The only reason I still have my DeskJet 6122 hooked up is because that lil shit refuses to die!

  • Like its glycol ink refuses to clog and it's easy to refill and reset the cartridges...

  • Otherwise I would've already replaced it with a WorkCentre multifunction laser...

Worse are their #ProBook line of #Laptops: They literally "Soft-#VendorLock" their #RAM to #HP-branded sticks, bricking #PXE-boot and requiring people to manually press F1 on the device keyboard EVERY SINGLE BOOTUP / REBOOT with #FUD messages.

  • Unlike with like #WiFi and #WWAN chips where one can figleaf argue that those need allow-listing for "spectrum regulatory compliance", this doesn't apply to RAM!

On the flipside I use a bunch of #fanless hp #ThinClient|s as #MiniServers, but that's because in #Germany #electricity is absurdly expensive and for just doing #backups and #MediaSharing doesn't draw much power...

The #thinkpad #T540p I picked up at #ewaste was cannibalized: bluetooth/WiFi card, memory, drive & caddy are missing. The memory & drive/caddy are easy; the wireless cards I need some help with.

Per the specification sheet, the T540p could come with:

WLAN One of the following, configurable by model:
• ThinkPad 11b/g/n, 2x2, Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo adapter, M.2 card
• Intel Wireless-N 7260, 2x2, Wi-Fi + BT combo adapter, M.2 card
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260, 2x2, Wi-Fi + BT combo adapter, M.2 card
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260, 2x2, Wi-Fi + BT combo adapter, M.2 card

Seems I do not have any #M2 #WLAN or #WWAN cards in my bench stock – anyone have spares they can share? If so, shoot me a PM. TIA!
