Yes, I'm familiar with those patches [1], but they are not essentially the same. The difference is that ECM/NCM modems use AT-commands, and I think it makes sense to just extend the comgt package with those, adding a new protocol like what Oskari did. I also think that modem specific configuration files could be a part of the existing comgt package. QMI on the other hand requires in addition either libqmi (which is monstrously large with its dependencies) or uqmi, and comgt is not required at all. Therefore it needs to be in a different package and it makes sense to include the netifd scripts there.
