I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with the latest OS build (Kernel 6.6.20+rpt-rpi-2712). I have a Quectel EC25 cellular module hat plugged into the pi using QMI mode. The modem connects successfully to the network and udhcpc assigns an ip address to the wwan0 interface. The problem is that I cannot get DNS to work. I have no other networking connections to the Pi ( no wifi and no ethernet ). Through the wwan0 interface, I can ping 8.8.8.8 - but not google.com.
I was unable to get NetworkManager to work and so I disabled it and installed systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved.
There is a default route through wwan0, and /etc/resolv.conf has 8.8.8.8 setup as a DNS server. Furthermore, resolvectl shows that the interface could be using 8.8.8.8 for DNS. How can I get DNS to work through the working wwan0 internet connection? Thanks. Modem:
