[greg@dell-wifi ~]$ sudo mmcli -m 0
--set-current-capabilities="cdma-evdo|lte"
error: couldn't set current capabilities:
'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error.Core.Unsupported: Setting
capabilities is not supported by this device'

I am asking the guy I am incorporating this for to check his plan to see if
his SIM card plan is even LTE capable.  He is switching from T-Mobile 2g on
his devices (since they are disbanding that network) to Verizon.  I'll post
back when I hear, but your earlier comment that evdo does not take APNs
took me by surprise.  I have never used 3rd party network subscriptions
before until this guy, but what you are saying is that when using PPP on
evdo networks there is no APN concept like in GSM?  His original line of
product on T-Mobile 2g was able to use 3rd party APNs just fine - I did not
know the backend of the 2 technologies were that much different other than
the framing used - guess I need to read up more.
