Hi all! Having trouble with ZTE MF93D connection using USB. Have done the following using RPI3B / MF93D - combo:
Fresh install "2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-lite"
Installed UAV-cast Pro
For above setup I have succeeded to stream PICam stream to QGC thru wired LAN, also telemetry connects ok.
To get 4G working installed usb_modeswitch. Used following command to switch mode:
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 19d2 -p 1225 -W -I -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/19d2:1225
After switch I get following info:

"Modem information":
error: couldn't find modem at '/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0'
After no success changed "Model" to "mmcli" and after that get following on "Cell Modem" configuration when pressing "Connect":
31/03/2019 07:26:02
31/03/2019 07:26:02 Modem not ready, retries in 10sec...

error: couldn't find modem at '/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0'
Question is how to get status led "Green" on "Cell Modem" config? I am missing something but can't figure out what? Done already some extensive googling but without luck. Please advise linux-noob…
BR, Oula
