I just got a T14G5-21MC and installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 24.04.1 on it. It was unable to see the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 Wi-Fi adapter at first, but a kernel update addressed that (had to search and install 6.11 from official apt repo). However, the mobile broadband still isn't working.
I attempted to enable it with mmcli -m 0 --enable
but I get couldn't enable interface: 'Invalid transition'
. I read somewhere this was about the card being FCC-locked, so I downloaded the script from the Lenovo support to unlock it, but running it did nothing helpful. The status report still reads
Status | lock: sim-pin2 | unlock retries: sim-pin2 (10) | state: enabling | power state: low
despite it not being PIN-locked.
The following commands did not help:
mmcli -m 0 --reset
mmcli -m 0 --set-power-state=on
sudo rfkill unblock all
(hard and soft blocks were already off)sudo systemctl restart ModemManager
Starting to get in over my head here. How do I make this work?
