Hello,

while my WWAN-card (Sierra Wireless EM7345) was working under the
default Fedora 23 template I have a problems to get it working under my
fedora 24 templates (all based on the Qubes OS fedora-24-minimal template).

Problem:
the WWAN card is visible within my net-VM, but I can't see it under the
Network Manager applet in the menu bar.

Setup:
WWAN-Card is passed to my sys-net VM via an usb-qube and visible in the
net-VM:

It seems that my WWAN-card is present in my sys-net, but even after
setting up a connection in NetworkManager I can't see a WWAN entry in
the applet of Network Manager like in Fedora23, where I then hit connect
and done.

In my template VM I have also installed ModemManagerwith:
sudo dnf install ModemManager

As suggested in other treads and sites I have run the following commands
in my Net VM

[user@my-sys-net ~]$ sudo systemctl start ModemManager
[user@my-sys-net ~]$ sudo systemctl enable ModemManager

I'm stuck, what am I missing?

Some more details regading the WWAN card, attached to my net VM

WWAN-card is present in the VM as USB-device:
