Hi,

To enable dataConnection for our Wp85 I try to get a profile using le\_mdc\_GetProfile(LE\_MDC\_DEFAULT\_PROFILE) but it always return NULL.  
Before doing roaming with the default profile this function worked well.

Since then even the dataConnectionService app is stopped by supervisor because “Default profile not available”.

What can be done ? And why can’t we get the default profile anymore ?

Best regards

Hi,  
Could you provide the Legato logs with logread? Please activate the ‘debug’ level.  
Thank you,

The logs show that the modem returns a bad value for authentication:  
it returns ‘3’ where only 0(‘NONE’), 1(‘PAP’), 2(‘CHAP’) are expected.

I ask to FW team why the modem returns such value.

‘3’ means PAP or CHAP.

We will treat this gap as a Legato bug to fix.
