• nmcli radios - without FCC unlock - gives me this response

  No modems were found

• lspci -nn

The forum isn't  the correct place for this.

Please use the relevant Talk pages on the wiki for gathering suggestions.

Thanks @esemeniuc,
I will add the links to the list.
Also I am finishing the structured configuration notes as soon as I have a couple of minutes.
A script is probably needed to do the enabling of the modem, unblocking the radio, and maybe do the FCC unlock after each reboot or wake-up from suspend. So there are a lot of things to cause the error.
