I’m having some similar problems (quectel-CM) to what other users have reported on this thread and made no progress towards a solution based on thread suggestions so far. This is a new install on a Rpi4 and hat/modem hardware purchased from sixfab about a month ago. Below is the initial indications of trouble. Following that is some system info (same requested of other users to help troubleshoot). Can anyone suggest a path forward? Does the ether driver being assigned to the device have anything to do with it?
