Could you relate this to kernel versions and/or BIOS upgrades?  It is
hard for anyone else to know exactly what you were doing in March last
year...

I don't know that either, I'm afraid.

The device doesn't even show up, which really indicates either that
it isn't there or that the BIOS has powered it off.

Kernel logs might tell more about why the device is failing.  Who knows?

Does "rfkill list" say that the wwan device is enabled?  If so, then
this sounds like a problem with your laptop platform driver.  I assume
that is fujitsu-laptop?  Hmm, that hasn't changed in ages, so I don't
think we'll find any explanation there.
