Aleksander Morgado c15e94f6c5 modemmanager: explicitly disconnect even if no bearers found
A network restart where netifd is cleanly restarted involves bringing
the network interfaces down. The 'modemmanager' protocol handler will
run a mmcli --simple-disconnect in this case, but only if there are
bearer objects found.

If the network restart happened *during* the connection attempt
procedure, while the modem is e.g. being registered in the network, no
bearer objects exist yet, and so, we would skip doing anything during
the interface teardown operation. This would lead to the original
connection attempt succeeding, so leaving the modem in ModemManager
in connected state, while the associated interface in netifd is
reported down.

OpenWrt ModemManager

Description

Cellular modem control and connectivity

Optional libraries libmbim and libqmi are available. Your modem may require additional kernel modules and/or the usb-modeswitch package.

Usage

Once installed, you can configure the 2G/3G/4G modem connections directly in /etc/config/network as in the following example:

config interface 'broadband'
    option device      '/sys/devices/platform/soc/20980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2.1'
    option proto       'modemmanager'
    option apn         'ac.vodafone.es'
    option allowedauth 'pap chap'
    option username    'vodafone'
    option password    'vodafone'
    option pincode     '7423'
    option iptype      'ipv4'
    option lowpower    '1'
    option signalrate  '30'

Only 'device' and 'proto' are mandatory options, the remaining ones are all optional.

The 'allowedauth' option allows limiting the list of authentication protocols. It is given as a space-separated list of values, including any of the following: 'pap', 'chap', 'mschap', 'mschapv2' or 'eap'. It will default to allowing all protocols.

The 'iptype' option supports any of these values: 'ipv4', 'ipv6' or 'ipv4v6'. It will default to 'ipv4' if not given.

The 'signalrate' option set's the signal refresh rate (in seconds) for the device. You can call signal info with command: mmcli -m 0 --signal-get
