For that, I don't know :)  With a Sierra 7355 (Qualcomm) and T-Mobile
HSPA I automatically get an IPv6 address with --connect.  The patch
outputs the IPv6 details the same way as the IPv4 ones, at least for
this device.  Since we know Telenor supports IPv6, perhaps the device
you've got doesn't support it via MBIM?  Which device is it?
