2) The mbim-network script requires a profile to work. Unless ex-
plicitly specified with `--profile', the file is assumed to be
available in the following path:
/etc/mbim-network.conf
3) The APN to use should be configured in the profile, in the
following way (e.g. assuming APN is called 'internet'):
APN=internet
4) Optional APN user/password strings may be given in the follow-
ing way:
APN_USER=user APN_PASS=password
5) If APN user/password is specified, the authentication protocol
to use (one of PAP, CHAP or MSCHAPV2) must also be specified in
the following way:
APN_AUTH=protocol
6) If you want to instruct the mbim-network script to use the
mbim-proxy setup, you can do so by configuring the following line
in the profile:
PROXY=yes
7) Once the mbim-network script reports a successful connection
you still need to run a DHCP client on the associated WWAN net-
work interface.
