Nice! Thanks for testing.

Yes, that's it. The scripts must be owned and executable only by root.

Yes yes, since yesterday morning we have all libqrtr-glib, libmbim and
libqmi already built using meson in openwrt-packages, so updating them
manually to point to git main is just about changing the
PKG_SOURCE_VERSION to point to the git main commit that you want, and
PKG_VERSION to the current version (as per meson.build) in the git
main branch.

ModemManager is also on its way: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/18167

My plan is to get this change into 1.18.8 and get it released in
openwrt along with the dispatch script.
