I had the same problems getting it to work. Kernel module loads but channel opening always resulted in:

INFO:root:Attach failed - waiting to see if we just weren't ready

My final solution was to boot into a windows to go live environment, installing the official windows driver, making sure it connects and than instantly rebooting into arch, being able to connect without any additional changes.

There should be a hint in the installation docs that the modem needs to be enabled in windows first. I have added it to the arch wiki guide.

Hi @thotypus,

Thank you so much for the example - I successfully blacklisted the iosm module as you instructed. Note that I observed that this results in different devices being created under /dev/, most notably without iosm the /dev/wwan0at* devices don't get created.

Unfortunately, I still haven't managed to make the modem work. This is getting too complex of an issue, so I created this issue on the upstream GitHub repo: https://github.com/xmm7360/xmm7360-pci/issues/209

Thanks for the package btw! Really helpful, especially when I'm creating myself a little script to automate the OS setup.

Hi kata55,

It's working here on 6.4.7. I can't reboot right now, but last time I checked it was working with linux-lts too.

You need to blacklist iosm. For example, create a /etc/modprobe.d/xmm7360.conf file containing blacklist iosm. I'm not sure if it would be acceptable per Arch standards for the package to do the blacklisting by itself.

Hey, just wanted to confirm that this package builds and installs fine with 6.1.41 kernel. This is on a Yoga X1 Gen 3 (20LD). It displays under lspci -k:

04:00.0 Wireless controller [0d40]: Intel Corporation XMM7360 LTE Advanced Modem (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation XMM7360 LTE Advanced Modem
    Kernel driver in use: iosm
    Kernel modules: iosm, xmm7360

However, it does not seem to switch the used kernel driver (iosm) automatically upon installing; Is this behavior as expected, and how do I go about switching the modem's kernel driver permanently?

Does anyone know how to solve this?

The kernel-5.15-comapt.patch now fails to be applied. It looks like the source file is already patched to support 5.15 and 5.16 kernels.

@Scyte This package is for Arch's default kernel (5.16.x). If you want to use the LTS kernel, you need to disable the kernel compat patch.

Pull requests to make this package support both kernel versions are welcome.
