System Configuration – Linux-
6.1 Preliminary Check
First, the OS should detect the connected module as an NCM device. To force this check, create a file
named
cdc_ncm.conf
in the folder
/etc/modprobe.d/
and insert the following line.
options cdc_ncm prefer_mbim=N
Assuming the module is using the default #PORTCFG=0 configuration and #USBCFG=0 mode.
Reboot the Ubuntu-PC, and plug the USB cable in. Use the
dmesg
command to check if the module is
recognized as a NCM device. The command response should contain something that looks like the
following:
dmesg<enter>
