I tried looking in this area you posted and searched for a bit, but cannot find out how to install nm
. How can you tell I don’t have it installed, as I seemed to be able to run nmcli
commands? If it isn’t installed, can you direct to where I can find out how to properly install it? It seems like I’m really close to being able to get this to work if I can figure out that piece. Thanks!
you are using conman… you can only have one active at a time…
you probably have to change it in the raspi config.. verify it is installed
sudo apt update
sudo apt install network-manager network-manager-gnome
then
sudo raspi-config
Advanced Options, Network Config, and Select NetworkManager and press Enter
reboot…
May have to start from scratch with your wifi after that too…
it is a little hard to give direction without cli outputs. I don’t know what you got when you say "it didn’t work "
Ok thanks and will do. Unfortunately, I uninstalled network-manager
in my attempt to try and fix, and my wifi obviously gone now, so now have to re-install via USB drive. I’ll try to do that tonight and see if I can fix my mistake without having to start with a fresh image. Thanks!
So good news, after starting with a new image of Bookworm and going through instructions again, I got everything to work.Internet, SMS and phone calls, all work now! Though, I guess I’ll need to get a headset for the calls. Does anyone know if any standard phone headset with a mic work? Thanks DeRock25 and others who’ve helped me along the way! Couldn’t have done it without the support of this forum! Thanks again
I do have a final question for the group. Does the setup of the cellular expansion card only work with the Bookworm image, or can it work with the other images in the uConsole repository?
It should work for all of them. The package is only available from the Debian and Debian based distros. Manjaro you’ll have to download the package and extract it to use it.
$ deb2targz
Where do I find the cellular package? Thanks!
In the mega link in any of my distro threads or on my GitHub in my clockworkpi-apt repo.
Great and I’ll check out those threads. Thanks!
