Hi Narayanaswamyn,

This requires you to add support for modem for networkmanager as this is not by default enable from network manager recipe.

One can try to add same as below

through local.conf add below lines

PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-networkmanager = " modemmanager ppp"

Alternatively create bbappend file for networkmanger recipe and patch your changes.
You can take reference from below recipe which is for our Torizon OS

github.com

toradex/meta-toradex-torizon/blob/master/recipes-connectivity/networkmanager/networkmanager_%.bbappend

FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/${BPN}:"

SRC_URI += "\
    file://0001-85-nm-unmanaged.rules-do-not-manage-docker-bridges.patch \
    file://toradex-nmconnection.conf \
    file://network.nmconnection.in \
"

# Depend on libedit as it has a more friendly license than readline (GPLv3)
DEPENDS += "libedit"

PACKAGECONFIG:remove = "dnsmasq"

PACKAGECONFIG:append = " modemmanager ppp"
RPROVIDES:${PN} = "network-configuration"

do_install:append() {
    install -m 0600 ${WORKDIR}/toradex-nmconnection.conf ${D}${nonarch_libdir}/NetworkManager/conf.d

    sed -e "s/@NET_NUM@/0/g" \
