That is what I was going to say; that PPA was updated a long time ago,
not recently.

The autokilling of qmi-proxy is totally normal IF there are no QMI
clients registered. Not sure if that is your case, though. Can you
make sure you test with latest stable versions of all libqmi, libmbim
and ModemManager?

The operations not supported errors are actually coming from the
specific modem management logic. It may be the case that for some
reason I don't get the Sierra plugin isn't grabbing the modem and
instead it's falling back to the generic modem. We would need
ModemManager debug logs, see:

I would suggest to always test with latest stable versions; not
relying on an unofficial PPA I created a long time ago for totally
different purposes. If there are issues with latest versions (stable
or git master), provide debug logs before and after the issue, and
reduce the drama just a bit :)

Cheers!
