I am using a the Huawei ME909u, a modem with lte capabilites, with
ModemManager. Using mmcli -m 0 shows only 'gsm-umts' capabilities,but
it reports that the device is connected to a lte netwokr.

The modem works properly with showing 4G-like speed.

I have tried updated the firmware and the behaviour is the same.

Seems like a ModemManager bug to me, so I am reporting just in case.

Here is the complet debug log: http://pastebin.com/zs6uJXVK
