Gobi 4G Module (03f0:581d) can't connect/establish to the provider

Hi,

I recently buy a new computer HP EliteBook 840 G2 with a 4G modem (LTE) integrate.

This modem work fine on Windows 10 x64.
But when I tried to use in ArchLinux I can connect to the provider.

Whit the help of this topics https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199000 I do that :

systemctl enable ModemManager

add the line in /etc/modules-load.d/qcserial.conf

qcserial vendor=0x03f0 product=0x581d

But the ModemManager can't establish the connection (Result of systemctl status ModemManager)

● ModemManager.service - Modem Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ModemManager.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Sat 2016-03-12 14:04:07 CET; 13min ago
 Main PID: 1350 (ModemManager)
    Tasks: 3 (limit: 512)
   CGroup: /system.slice/ModemManager.service
           └─1350 /usr/bin/ModemManager

So in the topic they spoke about usb_switching so I installed usbutils and usb_modeswitch. But I didn't understood how to configure it to work with my modem.

How I can configure my modem to establish the connection.

have you checked your sim-card with another modem, or thism modem with another known working sim-card? It looks like your modem is not able to get your sim registered on network.
