4g usb not seen in /dev/

I had an installation in 19.07.06 with 4G usb stick Huawei 3372 (stick mode, non-Hilink). TheCF card is malfunctioning and i got a new one. Once i flashed 19.07.07 i got an error message on interfaces for missing packages in wwan. No matter how many times i tried it did not help and i decided to create the 4G by hand. I plug the usb and i can see it found in lsusb:

root@OpenWrt_alix: ~ $ lsusb

I cannot find it in /dev/ as usb device:

By opening the config file for networking from the backup it has:

config interface 'wwan'
	option proto 'ncm'
	option ifname 'wwan0'
	option apn 'myq'
	option mode 'preferlte'
	option delay '5'
	option pdptype 'IP'
	option ipv6 'auto'
	option dialnumber '*99#'
	option service 'auto'
	option device '/dev/ttyUSB0'

Why i cannot see anything in /dev/ for USB?

modeswitch, and the device specific packages installed ?
