Didn't know modem-manager-gui worked with 1.x already, good to know.

The allowed modes settings in nm-connection-editor were for MM <=
0.6.x; MM 1.x doesn't respect those. The idea is that these settings
aren't part of the connection settings, but part of the modem settings
itself, and therefore they should really go to e.g. the device
settings in gnome-control-center or similar. See this blogpost for
more context:

Anyway, MBIM doesn't actually support changing allowed modes :/
