You are correct sir.

I just re-created this on krillin + rtm #72 + AT&T SIM in the 2nd slot ( /ril_1 ).

Note, I'm running my modified urfkill packages, but this should have no affect on the data preferences.

You'll note that the Cellular settings page shows mobile data off, and options for 2g or 2g/3g.

I checked, and list-modems shows ConnectionManager's Powered=1 and Attached=1 which indicates that mobile-data has been enabled. As this is krillin, the second slot is limited to 'gsm' only, so there in truth there should be no option for the user to change the technology preference.

I have two questions about the settings page itself:

1. Are we going to release the re-worked split "mobile data" / "tech preference" UI? [1]

2. What do we do if the modem only supports a single modem technology, should we hide the control?
