OTOH, this differs a bit from such packages, by being needed to connect to WAN on such devices. This is the same way as uqmi does on some - removing it would require other Internet connection to bootstrap its installation.


I too agree with this, Unlike SDCard or USB, networking is a core
feature and should work out of the box.

I don't think we have such a problem with this particular device.
Its default network configuration [1] has a dedicated WAN port within Ethernet switch thus I don't think the 3G modem is the main/only Internet connectivity available here.

I don't even think we have a device with just 3G/LTE/5G connectivity in our repository. There is always some Ethernet and/or USB on the other "end". And with tools like [2] it's now easier for the end user to get release/snapshot image with additional packages embedded.
