31       Notes:
32
33              1)  [DEVICE]  is given as the full path to the cdc-wdm character
34              device, e.g.:
35
36              /dev/cdc-wdm0
37
38              2) The mbim-network script requires a profile  to  work.  Unless
39              explicitly specified with `--profile', the file is assumed to be
40              available in the following path:
41
42              /etc/mbim-network.conf
43
44              3) The APN to use should be configured in the  profile,  in  the
45              following way (e.g. assuming APN is called 'internet'):
46
47              APN=internet
48
49              4)  Optional  APN user/password strings may be given in the fol‐
50              lowing way:
51
52              APN_USER=user APN_PASS=password
53
54              5) If APN user/password is specified, the authentication  proto‐
55              col to use (one of PAP, CHAP or MSCHAPV2) must also be specified
56              in the following way:
57
58              APN_AUTH=protocol
59
60              6) If you want to instruct the mbim-network script  to  use  the
61              mbim-proxy  setup,  you  can  do so by configuring the following
62              line in the profile:
63
64              PROXY=yes
65
66              7) Once the mbim-network script reports a successful  connection
67              you  still need to run a DHCP client on the associated WWAN net‐
68              work interface.
