At the moment no, but that functionality will be added in an update.  It
was blocking on ModemManager, which we now have, and simply need to get
all the right commands and whatnot for the mode selection.  There's UI
for it in the connection editor which we've hidden until we can get the
right support in the backend.  Same thing for roaming control.
