@stdevel @bradlinder that is sadly not the truth anymore.
Despite being "#UbuntuCertified" absolute basics like the #WWAN module didn't wotk at all on a work issued #ThinkPad #P15v.
Neither them nor #Canonical nor #Fibocom (#850GL WWAN Card) nor #Intel (#XMM7360 is the chipset of said card) felt responsible to fix it.
Not gonna talk about #nvidia being shitty again on that occasion...

@SecurityWriter @datenritter OFC, I do use Certificate & Key based VPNs with only allow-listed users and endpoints to tunnel insecure protocols and access to said systems.
You don't want to know how many @Raspberry_Pi with #ipFire and #WWAN modems are mounted on DIN-Rails solely to do #OpenVPN and allow #RemoteAccess...

Is it possible to make a mobile internet connection using a SIM-card in my HP Zbook laptop? #networking #2204 #hp #wwan
Spoof IMEI in NetworkManager (macchanger equivalent) #networking #networkmanager #wwan

@malcircuit Yeah, #Debian is masochist distro in that regard.
I explicitly chose #Ubuntu LTS 20.04 because the device was officially supported.
Still I'll stay mad for the refusal of #Lenovo, #Fibocom & #Intel to provide drivers for the integrated #WWAN modem:
Fibocom #850GL - which is just a rebadged Intel #XMM7360...
Because I know drivers for it exist - just like Intel refusing to release the Driver for the #GMA500 aka. #ImaginationTech PowerVR SGX GPU known als #Poulsbo...

Any #wwan #4g #lte #mobilebroadband experienced #arch #linux people out there using a #thinkpad who can help me with a disabled #modem specifically the #fibocom l860-gl i would like to use #netctl but #NetworkManager is fine until I got it working?

Hobby update: using my #lenovothinkpad T530, w/16gb ram as a test bed. It has a 512gb ssd, a 480gb ngff in the #wwan slot and a 200gb sdxc in the #expresscard slot. So far on the ssd, I have installed Windows 11, 10, 8.1 and 7 pro w/VMware capabilities (all for giggles). I’ve also put Arch w/icewm and Slackware on it so far. My next plan is to put Gentoo on the ngff. I have it all setup on #grub and no issues so far. 1/2
