Is there a list of usb 4G modems that work “as is” in Ubuntu?
I've been trying out different usb modems from different networks in Portugal, and each time I get a new one it's always a week-long adventure of trying to get it to work with Ubuntu, which usually ends with me quitting after following many different suggestions online.
Is there a list of supported 4G modems somewhere that I can be confident will work just by plugging them into the pc without any further hacks or tweaks?

I use a Pantech UML 295W USB dongle on Raspbian Stretch. I get about 8Mbits/sec UP and 6 Mbits/sec down on Verizon. Raspbian treats it as eth1, and no special drivers are required.
