Most of the modern WWAN modems are able to support multiple network contexts, allowing user to connect to different APNs (e.g. Internet, MMS, etc...). These contexts are usually dynamically configured via a control channel such as MBIM, QMI or AT. Each context is naturally represented as a network link/device, and the muxing of these links is usually vendor/bus specific (QMAP, MBIM, intel iosm...). Today some drivers create a static collection of netdevs at init time, some relies on VLAN link for associating a context (cdc-mbim), some exposes sysfs attribute for dynamically creating additional netdev (qmi_wwan add_mux attr) or relies on vendor specific link type (rmnet) for performing the muxing... so there is no generic way to handle WWAN links, making user side integration painful.
