Hi,
First: I hope I'm writing in the right section of the forum.
I purchased this Dongle from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4G-LTE-Wireless-USB-Dongle-Mobile-Broadband-150Mbps-Modem-Stick-Sim-Card-Wireless-Router-USB-150Mbps/1005003707568410.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.67674c4d9aUxyi
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS on x86_64 cpu

From usb0 I can connect to 192.168.100.1 and open the dashboard panel where I can set up my broadband connection.
But, no connection to internet.
I want to know if I can run any program to check if this device can actually read the sim card i put it in,
if I can force the connection,
if I have to do some operation through usb_modeswitch, mmcli etc to make it works,
if I have to switch driver from rndis_host to qmi_wwan or others.
Thanks in advance.
