Networking options on nrf9160

Hello,

I previously asked this question on the Zephyr forums, but as quite a few days have passed and still not sure what my options are, am hoping I can get some help here.

I've written some Zephyr code which works really well under both the POSIX and qemu targets, but am unclear how best to get either real or simulated networking working on my new nrf9160 board.
I'm in a location where neither my bundled iBasis SIM card nor local SIM seem to work. From what I can tell, the modem appears to be the primary way that networking is intended to work.
What other options do I have to get networking working so that I can test my code running on hardware?
  • Trying to get an external network card working
  • Networking via the host computer? I tried enabling SLIP but it seem to make the executable die with a UART exception
    This would actually be my preferred solution at the moment
  • Another option I haven't considered
The code is primarily making SSL HTTP requests.
Many thanks in advance,
Nick G.
