The patch would work for us. Do we need permission to use it? It's GPL?

I did try letting MM find the right PDP context this way, but the recommendation
I got from Sierra Wireless was to leave the APN blank when connecting to CAT-M
networks and allow the network to provide the APN name during network 
registration.
Since PDP context #1 was also blank, MM tried that, which didn't work.

Calling pppd directly using context #3 with a blank APN works fine.

connect using a specific PDP CID

[Taff, Philip]

I'm trying to use ModemManager 1.8.2 with a Verizon LTE Cat-M1 modem. Verizon 
requires using PDP context #3 for the internet connection. I read the thread 
from 2017 
(https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/modemmanager-devel/2017-May/004663.html)
 in which a patch was proposed to handle this case in ModemManager, but saw 
that the thread ended with a plan to develop a new API for managing profiles 
instead of that patch.

But I haven't been able to find this new API, and it doesn't look like the 
original patch was applied either. Is this profile management API available in 
1.8.2, or in a newer version? How do I force ModemManager to use PDP context #3 
for the internet connection?
