celltower modems yes, the pinephone works around this by connecting it over USB, and there is community maintained firmware for it thats ~99% free
not quite perfect, but almost fully free firmware on a modem connected over USB for isolation sounds a whole lot better to me than proprietary firmware with full control over all of my hardware
i already hate proprietary firmware blobs in my kernel, even if they are only loaded onto other hardware separate from my cpu
but at least thats contained to other shit
yes, i KNOW that pcie is insecure and that you can easily backdoor your whole system with that.
