Description Piotr 2012-11-27 20:45:31 UTC

I’ve tried to use modules libqmi-glib and qmi4g with Huawei E398 u-1 on OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment 12.09-rc1 (r34302) – packages was provided by http://eko.one.pl for kernel: 3.3.8.

When you run the qmicli command, are you completely sure that there is no other qmicli command still running around? Only one qmicli process can grab the port for R/W at a given time.

Comment 2 Aleksander Morgado 2013-08-13 13:23:45 UTC

Piotr; any update?

Comment 3 Aleksander Morgado 2015-01-25 20:28:40 UTC

Closing as no further info has been provided.

Anyway, this Transaction timed out issue is very common when multiple qmicli commands are running at the same time without the qmi-proxy, as only one such qmicli is able to receive the responses.

Comment 4 surya 2016-10-26 05:22:47 UTC

Hi,
I am also facing the same issues & i make sure that there is no other qmicli commands running in the background. But still getting the issue as below.

root@phycore-ge-am335x:~# qmi-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 start
Starting network with 'qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --wds-start-network=  --client-no-release-cid'...

error: couldn't create client for the 'wds' service: CID allocation failed in the CTL client: Transaction timed out
error: network start failed, client not allocated

What about ModemManager or qmi-proxy? Are those running at the same time you try to run qmi-network?
