Shit.  Why the heck would a tool like this be vendor proprietary?  It
just sets up networking using standard Linux features. Couldn't they
contributed it instead?

It's nice to see that Qualcomm finally made something work, but how
about giving something back to the community as well?

No, I'm not particularily happy about Qualcomm today.  Finding out that
they deliberately disabled IPv6 by default in their too popular "gobi"
chipsets wasn't fun either.  Or at least in the MDM9200 chips, where
I've so far found modems from three different vendors (Sierra Wireless,
Huawei and ZTE) with the NVRAM "IPv6 enable" switch unset, and therefore
failing to connect for no obvious reason. That's not nice at all!
