Just a follow-up: A fix has been merged to NetworkManager upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/499 <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/499>

This seems to lead to issues which are fixed when manually setting the MTU to a lower value. When checking the NetworkManager’s connection settings, gsm.mtu is set to “auto". I’m observing this on a Quectel BG96 hooked up via QMI. My kernel version is 4.19.87.
