I wish I knew an easy way without messing too much with your
installation.  The reason I didn't explain in detail how to do this is
that I really don't know...

You have already provided so much useful information.  Do the QMI
testing only if you want to.

I assume you use a LTS version for a reason, and I don't want to
recommend anything making a mess out of that.

Looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/modemmanager  I see that you will
need MM packages from trusty to have anything with QMI support in
Ubuntu.  I don't know if installing those on precise is feasible.  I
assume not.  They will probably drag in too many dependecies and you'll
end up without any other possibilty than doing a full OS upgrade.

Anyone else have any tips on how to *easily* test a new MM version on
Ubuntu precise?  I guess rebuilding the trusty source packages
(including new library dependencies) might be possible?

No problem. Please continue to ask :-)
