I agree it is misleading, yes. "Disabled" in the context of ModemManager means that the host no longer cares about the state of the modem, so any explicitly enabled notifications are now disabled, and so on. When the modem is "Enabled", the host is expected to monitor and manage the modem. So, when the modem boots MM will report state as "Disabled" even if the modem is already registered in the network, MM just knows nothing about that state yet. If you do want to explicitly unregister from the network, then the modem needs to be brought into low power mode, as Daniele suggests. Since very recently in git main, you can request to set the LPM even when the modem is enabled, and that will implicitly also disable it while also transitioning to LPM. -- Aleksander
