I have a WP8548 module. It works great, then at an unknown stage its cm connect only connects as an ipv6. When running ifconfig it shows

rmnet0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:138252 (135.0 KiB)

The setup on

I know the IP, and can ping it from another pc, so the device did connect. And when I send the command AT+CGPADDR via /dev/ttyAT, I get the correct IPv4 Address :  
AT+CGPADDR

> +CGPADDR: 1,10.10.1.2  
> OK

Running legato version 16.07.0\_cd4985660a55cc9a6f9a2ed28bcc757e\_modified, as from the FW\_Updates. I get the same result, when starting the connection via an application, or via SSH.

Hello,

The issue would be from Legato linux distribution for 16.07.0. For latest legato linux distribution for 17.11.0.rc3 the IPV4 address has been seen properly.
