Regarding connectivity; QMI-powered MM is fully functional. Missing
things include messaging and location, which are scheduled for next weeks.

Like, everything is missing. The idea is to modify NM to talk to MM
through the new libmm-glib. My personal list of things TODO includes now
2 big items only: multipart support merge in MM git master and then the
NM integration. Any help with the second one is very appreciated, now
that all MM plugins are ported.

Make sure you have the latest libqmi (from git master) before trying to
build the qmi-support branch in ModemManager :-)
