Sorry for the late follow-up; the issue appears to be that either NM or
MM is unable to detect the supported IP types of the modem. That's why
you get this message:
"Connection requested IPv4 but IPv4 is unsuported by the modem"
Can you grab "mmcli -m 0 | grep IP" and we'll see if MM or NM is at
fault here.
