Killian,

I got my EM7455 working with Linux 4.10, libmbim-1.14.0, and
libqmi-1.17.901. I did not use ModemManager as I was more interested in how
things worked with a manual configuration. There were some key points:
- Lenovo EM7455 (1199:9079) uses MBIM
- I needed to enable FCC auth using 'qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0
--device-open-mbim --dms-set-fcc-authentication' (verify radio is enabled
in both hw/sw states via 'mbimcli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --query-radio-state')

I would recommend building a local updated libmbim/libqmi from source which
is fairly straight-forward.
