I wouldn't say that I particularly know more; in fact I may know less.

However, if I were encountering such symptoms and had (as has apparently
happened here) searched the system for mention of the key term 'wwan'
without finding it, the next places I'd look for clues would be A: dmesg
and B: the contents of /var/log/. (If running systemd, I'd probably also
want to investigate the contents of the journal, but I don't know proper
syntax for that beyond the name 'journalctl'.)

It might be necessary to make sure you're booting with appropriate
message verbosity; IIRC, systemd may default to a quieter boot than
sysvinit does, so you may have to adjust some grub parameters and
reboot. In principle, however, I'd expect that if such devices are being
set up at boot time there'd have to be some details about that logged
during the boot process, and such logging would have to go to one or
more of those three places.
