Dear all,
I'm trying to configure the Huawei E3372h-153 4G stick on a Raspberry PI running Raspbian 10. I saw many people succeeding in this, but I keep having issue. My 'lsusb' output is:
Code: Select all Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:c044 Logitech, Inc. LX3 Optical Mouse
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 12d1:15d6 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 03f0:0024 HP, Inc KU-0316 Keyboard
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0424:7800 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
What puzzles me is that the Huawei dongle is recognized with productID 15d6. I looked in the data repository and I don't seem to find any device with such product ID. I tried using the configuration for the newer modem versions manually with: 'sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 15d6 -V 12d1 -P 1001 -C 2 -M '55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000' -W' and what I get is:

Do you have any suggestions on how to get the modem properly recognized, and use it with wvdial?
I'll be forever thankful to anyone who has suggestions

12d1:15d6 is a new USB Id which most likely when switched will switch into 12d1:15d7.
It looks like 12d1:15d6 has 2 configurations and will by default enter the second config which is an MBIM configuration.
You can stop it from entering this config by editing /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and change DisableMBIMGlobal from 0 to 1, this will after you replug the dongle allow you to manually switch it from the cmdline:
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 15d6 -M "55534243123456780000000000000011062000000101000100000000000000" -W
please show me the output from:
sudo lsusb -vd 12d1:15d6 before the dongle is switched
and from:
sudo lsusb -vd 12d1:15d7 (?) after you have manually switched the dongle

Thanks a lot LOM,
I had to leave everything at work yesterday, I'll test it on Monday as soon as possible!
Just out of curiosity, how do you know that the new ID will be 15d7? Is that just because there are 2 configurations and switching to the second gives a +1?

I don't know that it will switch to 15d7, it is just an advanced guess but it is not related to the number of configs.
You will see what it becomes, a simple lsusb will tell you and you don't need the switched Id/destination Id on the cmd line, the initial Id is what is needed for usb_modeswitch to switch it.

It seems like the command worked! Thanks! How can I tell if I can properly communicate with the device? I'm looking for something like /dev/gsmmodem, in order to add it to the wvdial configuration, but I'm not seeing anything like that..

Thanks for the device composition listings, this is the interface usage for 12d1:15d7
MI_00 HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G PC UI Interface
MI_01 HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Modem
MI_02 HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G Network Card (huawei_cdc_ncm)
MI_03 USB Mass Storage Device
MI_04 USB Mass Storage Device
The link creation for /dev/gsmmodem may be broken or removed, it was never 100% reliable anyway.
ttyUSB0 will be your AT-cmd device and ttyUSB1 your modem data device.
12d1:15d6 has only 1 interface in config#1, the virtual cd-rom drive which we send the switch message to.
The virtual CD-ROM contains MS Windows drivers + connection manager and I would be happy if you could extract the .inf files from the driver pack.
Everything may be packed in a big .exe file but the files within can be extracted with 7-zip for instance.
Your dongle is new and the driver .inf files must be of a version I don't have and they probably cover more new dongles in the 12d1:15cx/15dx/15ex series.

Hi LOM,
sorry, I'm very noob with all of this. I've tried setting up the connection with wvdial, which has been kind of a pain to get to work and it's still not always working properly.
I noticed that when wvdial is running I indeed see a ppp0 connection, but even without, I see a wwan0 connection, if I run 'ifconfig', and I see some IP addresses. Is it possible that I should just try to configure wwan0, without dealing with the whole wvdial stuff? Of course the wwan0 network is not working out of the box, and this is reasonable, as I haven't even specified an APN for it, but is there a way to configure it directly?
Also, concerning the MS Windows drivers, I'm not sure how I could extract the .inf files, and, by the way, would that even be legal? These I believe are some proprietary drivers, they will probably have some kind of copyrights attached!

The wwan0 device is created from interface #2, the network interface driven by the huawei_cdc_ncm driver, it is a high speed direct connection protocol vs the low speed serial modem dialup protocol.
Your system log will show you driver bindings and the result of them.
If you don't want to use direct network connection then rename the driver, thast will stop it from binding.
