Extending the test with the LM960A18 I tried connecting 2 modems on a RBM33G.
Individually both LM960A18 work on the RB
When in mPcie port 1

So the modems are detected wherever I connect them. However, whichever combination I use, it will only display 1 LM960A18 as LTE interface, even when there are 2 or even 3 the same devices (2mPCie + 1 USB) connected. The usb ports are correctly detected but only 1 LTE interface comes up.

This does not occur when using e.g. 2 of any other CAT6 LTE modems EG25G, R11LTE6...
Is this a limitation of the RBM33G, the MT7621A SoC or incorrect configuration of the LM960A18?
Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
