The IP type isn't quite what I'm looking for. The issue is that, after setting the type to IPv4, I'm unsure how to set the MMBearerIpMethod: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/ModemManager/api/1.8.0/ModemManager-Flags-and-Enumerations.html#MMBearerIpMethod Looking through the MMBearerProperties documentation, I'm unable to see how to set the MMBearerIpMethod. This means that sometimes it comes up as IPv4/PPP rather than IPv4/Static. Thanks in advance!
