The patch would work for us. Do we need permission to use it? It's GPL?

I did try letting MM find the right PDP context this way, but the recommendation
I got from Sierra Wireless was to leave the APN blank when connecting to CAT-M
networks and allow the network to provide the APN name during network registration.
Since PDP context #1 was also blank, MM tried that, which didn't work.

Calling pppd directly using context #3 with a blank APN works fine.
