Thank you also for this explanation. I've checked this while the RAT was 
valid and I got an output as yours. In the meantime I have also updated 
libqmi to 1.8.0 and ModemManager to 1.2.0. In this new setup I didn't see 
the wrong RAT yet but the first simple-connect attempt often ends in "QMI 
protocol error (79): 'PolicyMismatch'. I need to reset the modem but 
afterwards everything works without any problem. 

Unfortunately I cannot say that this problem is limited to my single 
MC7710. We use some of these modems in a project where partners make their 
first steps with them currently and I got that feedback twice already. But 
from all your statements it sounds like there's something strange going on 
in the modem and rather not in ModemManager.
