The only "plan name" described in the configuration dialog is "4G LTE..." and this is a 3G card. It doesn't connect. :( On the next issue.... A cold start got the device up and running with the Verizon /1 firmware. But NetworkManager only wants to create a "4G LTE Contract", or a custom contract. Neither connect. In the past I believe I have used just a dial string of #777 and an APN name of "vzwinternet", but it isn't working. I have one connection on number "*99#" which is what it wants by default. Also have a profile #777. Both have an APN of "vzwinternet" and a Type of "any". I can only edit this using the old nm-connection-editor as Network Settings has the Option button from "Mobile broadband" grayed out. But NetworkManager does see the "Qualcomm HP un2420 Mobile Broadband" device. Hmmm. Captured a modem-manager log file. That doesn't look healthy.

Sadly the only firmware combinations I can seem to get to work only talk about a "4G LTE Connection", which [of course] doesn't work. It does seem that the device retains its firmware unless *POWER IS LOST* - as in disconnect the power cord AND the battery. So that might explain why it worked before. It must have still had the firmware from the initial Windows installation; and we've now no way of identifying which/what firmware that was. The HP Qualcomm driver package doesn't seem to contain a UQCN.mbn file - only lots of amss.mbn & apps.mbn files. So I was stuck with the Lenovo firmware images, the incomplete HP firmware images, or a mix-n-match of both. I have to give up at this point.
