Cannot switch modes on Huawei E3372 LTE USB stick.

Hi all,

I'm having a hard time bringing up this USB stick. I am on a virtualized environment and was able to map the device to OPNSense VM, and OPNSense detects the devices.

root@firewall:~ # usbconfig -d ugen1.2 dump_device_desc
ugen1.2: <HUAWEIMOBILE HUAWEIMOBILE> at usbus1, cfg=1 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (2mA)

  bLength = 0x0012
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001
  bcdUSB = 0x0210
  bDeviceClass = 0x0000  <Probed by interface class>
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x00ff
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040
  idVendor = 0x12d1
  idProduct = 0x157c
  bcdDevice = 0x0102
  iManufacturer = 0x0001  <HUAWEI_MOBILE>
  iProduct = 0x0002  <HUAWEI_MOBILE>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0003  <0123456789ABCDEF>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0002

I tried switching the modes using the usb_modeswitch, but keep on getting the below error.

root@firewall:~ # usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 157c -J -W -R
Take all parameters from the command line


 * usb_modeswitch: handle USB devices with multiple modes
 * Version 2.4.0 (C) Josua Dietze 2016
 * Based on libusb1/libusbx

 ! PLEASE REPORT NEW CONFIGURATIONS !

DefaultVendor=  0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x157c
HuaweiNewMode=1

Look for default devices ...

The LTE USB stick is a carrier unlocked Huawei Hailink device. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
