The "QMI WDS Start Network" command launched by qmicli has a 45s
timeout, which is too tight. We shouldn't be so optimistic, and we
should probably use a much higher timeout like 180s, so that we let
the modem reply to the command (even if it's a failure) instead of
returning a "Transaction timed out" message. See
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/libqmi/-/merge_requests/168

BTW, we should do the same in MM and consolidate the different
connection attempt timeouts we have around, because each
plugin/protocol has a different one...
