So this is on US Mobile mostly because Fuck You, Cheap™️ reasons, on their Verizon network (that's what comes in the laptop and I'd bet it's probably carrier locked). Card is only 3G/4G so it's half useless, but hey, 4G is still 4G.
So NetworkManager's default cell settings think that pwg is the correct APN for US Mobile. I can tell you, for a fact, that it is not (might be for 5G but this isn't). So, after some digging, I was eventurally told that lol actually it's ims. So I plug that in in, it works!..... ish. Gives me an IPv6 but I can't even ping my own router and no connection works. So I set it down, had dinner, came back, turned it back on and.... doesn't work. The fuc- Okay that's odd. Drivers or something?
Well dell don't make Linux drivers for this thing (slightly custom snapdragon X20 iirc), so I booted into windows which, as the first time I've loaded Windows since the SIM even arrived just fucking happily reported that it's connected and I'm good. WTF?!
