      Hello,

      I am using a Starling V2 Max with voxl-suite 1.4.2 and a Qualcomm 5G module (pictured below). I have inserted a Mint Mobile SIM card and followed the configuration steps from ModalAI's documentation.

      During setup, I selected:
      1️⃣ V2 as the modem (option 1)
      2️⃣ No Modallink (option 2)
      3️⃣ T-Mobile APN: fast.t-mobile.com (since Mint uses T-Mobile's network) (option 4)

      However, the system fails to detect /dev/ttyUSB2, and running:

      ls /dev | grep ttyUSB

      returns nothing—indicating that no /dev/ttyUSB devices are available.

      Any insights or troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.

      Attached is a picture of the 5G modem for reference.

          it says that the voxl-modem service is up and running but it is not connected to the internet

            @LR When running through voxl-configure-modem you'll want to select em9191 not v2

              @tom Thanks it worked! Out of curiosity, was it written somewhere and I missed that?

                @LR The 5G configuration on Starling 2 is a fairly new offering so there may not be fully representative docs live.
