Appearently im suppose to be a wizard at pretty much anything at work, ranging from programming massive major back end rest services, to administering the linux platform down onto a driver level(and beyond ofc all software engineers are experts at everything when ever the boss decides to write you an email, even if you got less then 6 months of work experience).
This time im sort at a conundrum, how do i manage a dual sim-card modem on ubuntu core, im really at a loss here, even google has scarce info about it, since it really is one of those "off scenarios" for the pc master race.
any hints to articles which ever would be a help.
Post what type of modem it is etc.
Usually most GSM modems can accept AT commands via a serial port that acts as a control port and provide a usb ethernet device for the network connection.
So check what USB device info you can get with lsusb and look under /dev/ttyUSB* for a device.
EDIT: Updated details
it is a SIM7100E modem, problem isn't getting it working with 1 sim card...it's two sim cards.
basically im looking for some insight into how do you change sim cards during runtime. eg. not reboot when changing sim card.
It muct be possible since phones can do it, and they basically use linux.
Well there's only one post about it with some details
I'm going to be back in a bit (dinner here) and see if I can find a tech manual

This is what you want to look at

Since there seems to quite little doc on the linux driver it's probably going to require you issuing some AT command to switch over to the other sim card
