+1 from me.

I'm assuming that the default setting when the modem is detected will
always be 802.3, and only then changed to raw-ip by userspace when
needed. I really hope we can switch to raw-ip automatically for all
modems supporting WDA, as that would be a quick thing to do in e.g.
qmi-network and ModemManager, but who knows what other vendors than
Sierra are doing.
