- install ModemManager
sudo apt install modemmanager

sudo pico /etc/netplan/modem.yaml
Add the following contents:
network:
version: 2
modems:
ttyACM0:
renderer: NetworkManager
dhcp4: true
apn: "vzwinternet" # change to match your provider APN
- verify the netplan is valid with
sudo netplan try
- if no errors are reported, apply the change with
sudo netplan apply
- check modem is detected with
mmcli -L
- see modem connection details (assuming modem id 0 from previous step):
mmcli -m 0
pi@mypihost:~ $ mmcli -m 0
