Ubuntu Network Manager
Network-Manager is a native Ubuntu Snappy connection manager. The application can be used to configure the Edge Gateway
so that it's automatically-detected and connected to the network. The application can be used to configure multiple network
devices.
A command-line utility nmcli is included with Network-Manager to support non-graphical user interface configurations.
NOTE: For more information about Network Manager, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager

at step 1.
3. Create a profile.
$ sudo network-manager.nmcli c add con-name test type gsm ifname <primary port> apn
internet
NOTE:
Depending on the return results from step 2, replace <primary port > after ifname with the actual primary port
name.
