Hello,
Thanks to many people in this list, I was able to find ModemManager and
I've tried applying it.

Above is original environment.
On this circumstances, I disabled CM provided from modem provider : hucom-cm
And I added one configuration section into the bottom of
/etc/config/network :
config interface 'broadband'
option device '/sys/devices/platform/1a0c0000.usb/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.2'
option proto 'modemmanager'
option apn '5g-internet.sktelecom.com
<http://5g-internet.sktelecom.com>'
option username ''
option password ''
option pincode ''
option lowpower '1'
Under these settings, I confirmed that
- hucom-cm is disabled
- ModemManager is alive
4430 root 229m D /usr/sbin/ModemManager
The wwan0 is not shown from ifconfig and ping 8.8.8.8 fails saying
Network is unreachable.
So, My first trying to utilize MM seemed to be failed.
Originally hucom-cm sets bridge mode like shown below:
BRIDGE_MODE_FILE : /sys/module/qmi_wwan/parameters/bridge_mode
BRIDGE_IPV4_FILE : /sys/module/qmi_wwan/parameters/bridge_ipv4
But under ModemManager these files are not shown.
And I've found many plugin libraries under /usr/lib/ModemManager:
libmm-plugin-altair-lte.so libmm-plugin-mtk.so
libmm-plugin-thuraya.so
Could someone help me?
Do I need to look deeper into ModemManager?
Do I need to implement new plugin library for our product?
Or do I need to forget about ModemManager?
My already given hucom-cm anyway works. It brings data via wwan0 and
establish network interface wwan0.
Problem is that hucom-cm sets up firewall rules and routing settings
redundantly and unnecessarily. So I can make it not to do these unneeded
settings. This way would be good approach I believe.
But we'd like to make our product indepecntant from specific modem. I
guessed that opensource ModemManager infrastructure would give us some
sort of independence from specific modem and in other words it would
give some abstraction..
I am not sure of anything. Could someone give me some light so that I
can find the best way to go?
Additional question : If I write our own logic as a plugin library of
ModemManager, wouldn't it necessarily have to stick to GPL? Can we apply
commercial license for the plugin?
Thank you very much in advance.

If none answers better in this mailing list, development and licensing
questions about ModemManager should probably be asked in its own mailing
list https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/modemmanager-devel
As it is not a package developed by OpenWrt, it is used by desktop Linux
distributions too (Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE and most others), Openwrt only
provides the package and integrates its config with uci.
