seems you have to use usb_modeswitch. Under Windows, this device comes up as an USB-CDROM, driver installation sarts automatically, and at the end of the autorun script a mode switch command will be send to the Huawei device. After that the Huawei device shows up as a GSM Modem. Under Linux, usb_modeswitch will do this task. usb_modeswitch is a package to be installed, there may be other 3G/4G related packages to be installed. Changes to udev rules (/etc/udev/rules.d/) and modprobe (/etc/modprobe.d/) may appear or must be done.
