Sierra AirPrime EM7455 is a common LTE card for Dell, Lenovo, and other laptops.
I have one in my Thinkpad 470s.
It is supported in kernel 4.7+ and by ModemManager.
However it does not appear in Solus Budgie.
Here is my hardware information:

Googling suggests 3 possibilities:
1 and 2 are already enabled in the kernels
What's the output of lsusb?

So it's detected and loads the module (it 2. above), the issue is somewhere within MM/NM/hardware detection.
Tentatively marking this as resolved. Please reopen if it is still a problem after latest updates.
