Backported and pushed to 0.6.

Great! Now it seems we just need to add support for 4G preference in nm-applet to actually use this?

The backport is though slightly wrong:

     case MM_MODEM_GSM_ALLOWED_MODE_2G_PREFERRED:

         idx = 4;

         break;

     case MM_MODEM_GSM_ALLOWED_MODE_3G_PREFERRED:

         idx = 3;

         break;

Modes 3 and 4 will include LTE, so it is probably better to use mode 5 for both of these (and maybe refuse 2G preferred) for LTE modem, else it is impossible to select 2G/3G mode (exclude LTE).

And it is still unclear if mode 7 actually means LTE preferred, or if it just behaves as mode 0, but we can leave it like that for now so that it is possible to select it.
