Equipment info without SIM installed

Loading current capabilities is a sequence of commands:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/tree/src/mm-broadband-modem.c#n535

We use AT+CPIN? among those commands to check whether the modem is a
3GPP modem. If we get told that any PIN/PUK is required or if we're
already READY (e.g. SIM-PIN disabled) then we assume that the modem is
at least a GSM/UMTS modem (as CDMA/EVDO modems don't have SIM, so this
command should error out).

In your case, an ERROR in that command when loading capabilities
should be harmless. Could you post debug logs to check what's
happening?
