For #lenovo #thinkpad #t480 #t480s #t490 #t490s #t440 #t470 etc. #tseries under #nixOS does a/the #LTE #cellular #modem (e.g. #Fibocom #L830-EB #4G LTE #WWAN Modem) work without special measures i.e. does it "appear" in the GUI OS e.g. #gnome & become available for use automatically on installation or update of nixOS e.g. by running update of configuration in usual way? Are there special options in configuration.nix one has to set first? Even then, does it work? Anyone have LTE success here?

Moreover, it appears that TMo are using the #Fibocom FG360-NA-03 specifically as seen in aforementioned datasheet. The difference with the FG360-NA-00 and FG360-NA-05 versions is that their datasheet lists "driver" as “Linux 4.1” instead of OpenWRT for the -03 spec. Main difference between all of them seems to be supported wireless bands as they apply to the carrier. The -03 variety for TMo appears to support a bunch more bands (TMo + Sprint) as a result. The #MT6890 AP is a #CortexA55, for completeness sake.

@stdevel @bradlinder that is sadly not the truth anymore.

Despite being "#UbuntuCertified" absolute basics like the #WWAN module didn't wotk at all on a work issued #ThinkPad #P15v.
Neither them nor #Canonical nor #Fibocom (#850GL WWAN Card) nor #Intel (#XMM7360 is the chipset of said card) felt responsible to fix it.

Not gonna talk about #nvidia being shitty again on that occasion...
