</span>I think it depends on what the modem supports. I've seen at least one<br>
case where you can setup multiple bearers in a single WWAN, just by<br>
issuing different connection requests to different APNs where you get<br>
different IPs that should be set on the same WWAN. No plugin supports<br>
that yet in MM, but it should be totally doable. Maybe, I don't<br>
recall, there is a limit hardcoded in the generic code base that<br>
limits the number of bearers to the number of wwans, but we should<br>
likely let the plugins decide that limit.<br>
