Hello Guix!
If any of you use Guix System (previously known as GuixSD) on ThinkPad; and if your ThinkPad have WWAN Card (Ericsson F3507g or Qualcomm Gobi2000); does it work with ModemManager Service (part of desktop services)?; does WWAN option appear in your desktop settings?
I am asking because, I am planning on getting a WWAN card for my ThinkPad X200T. FreeDesktop.Org mentions that F3507g is known to work and Gobi2000 should propably work. I would like to know insights with ModemManager on Guix System, before I make the purchase. :-)
Thank you!
Regards,
RG.

I'm using a T400. I actually don't use wifi...I prefer ethernet, 'cause
it's faster. Sorry I can't be more help.

WWAN is cellular, not Wi-Fi (WLAN) — it's even slower ;-)
I know that Julien (CC'd; hope that's all right) is stuck on 4G
this week, but I'm guessing it's going to be through some kind of
‘mobile hotspot’ adapter. I don't know anyone else who uses it.
Kind regards,
T G-R

It's alright. They gave me a 4G adapter that emits a wifi hotspot. It's not a device I control so I only have wifi on my side.

I have no Thinkpad, but reasons for not working could be Guix’
ModemManager being slightly out of date or the WWAN card requiring
non-free firmware. I do not like what I see on
https://h-node.org/notebooks/view/en/1440/ThinkPad-X201--3680-WZQ-
Other than that, what works on other GNU systems should work on Guix
System.
Regards,
Florian
