Good.

For the list of keys, check the Connect() method here:
http://www.lanedo.com/~aleksander/modem-manager/api-20120827/gdbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem.Simple.html

If the value of the key is given as an enum, you'll need to pass the
value as a string representing the enum, just get the suffix of the enum
and lowercase it (what glib-mkenums does to get the 'nick' of the enum).
For the 'bands', just provide a list of those lowercase suffixes
enclosed in singlequotes. E.g.:

simple-connect="bands='egsm,dcs,pcs,g850',ip-type=ipv4"

It should be doable passing:
    "allowed-mode=3g"

'allowed-modes' is also a list, so you can also pass:
    "allowed-modes='2g,3g,4g'"

Note that setting allowed modes is not always supported, so it may not work.

If you could test those with your modem it would be great :-)

Cheers!
