I have a Sagem F@ST2704V2 8/16 Flash/RAM router. I had OpenWRT ver 17 installed on it earlier. Then I have a Huawei e3372 HiLink LTE modem connected to the router's USB port. In this version (17.04) everything was working fine. The lsusb command on Linux shows:
Bus 002 Device 010: ID 12d1: 14dc Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E33372 LTE/UMTS/GSM HiLink Modem/Networkcard
Now I changed the version of OpenWRT 19.04 and the GSM/LTE connection stopped working. It is also not visible as a disk, an SD card installed in the slot of this LTE module. After connecting this modem to the USB port, the system logs show:
...
Sun Jul 19 07:12:49 2020 kern.info kernel: [4588.523728] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-platform
...
Additionally, the files /sys/devices/platform/ehci-platform/usb1 also show correctly:
root @ Bioama-1: /sys/devices/platform/ehci-platform/usb1/ 1-1 # cat idVendor
12d1
root @ Bioama-1:/sys/devices/platform/ehci-platform/usb1 /1-1 # cat idProduct
14dc
usb_modeswitch is installed using the same procedure as I did in version 17.04. A probable cause is that there is no definition for the device 12d1: 14dc in the file /etc/usb-mode.json.
AFAIK 12d1:14dc is "ethernet" mode so usb_modeswitch did convert from default default mass storage device mode 12d1:1f01
do you have necessary modules installed for "ethernet" mode? opkg install kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether
I haven't. So just install kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether, power off/on but still both modem port and SD card is not listed in /dev dir.
root@Bioama-1:~# ls /dev/
bus mtd1 mtdblock1 pts
console mtd1ro mtdblock2 random
cpu_dma_latency mtd2 mtdblock3 shm
full mtd2ro mtdblock4 tty
gpiochip0 mtd3 mtdblock5 ttyS0
hwrng mtd3ro network_latency urandom
kmsg mtd4 network_throughput watchdog
log mtd4ro null zero
memory_bandwidth mtd5 port
mtd0 mtd5ro ppp
mtd0ro mtdblock0 ptmx
What else I have to do?
i dont know if it shows up in /dev it's an ethernet interface, try logread | grep ethernet or ifconfig or check in luci when creating new interface, if you already have eth0 you should have eth1 also with huawey in hilink mode.
also if dongle is in ethernet mode i dont know if you can access cd and/or sd card.
It is not listed in ifconfig output:

Notice that all interfaces have the same MAC address. So it is the same device. But the most strange think is that SD card is not listed too in /dev dir
And output from log:
root@Bioama-1:~# logread | grep ethernet
root@Bioama-1:~#
Nothing.
When I connect dongle to "ordinary" Linux (Mageia 7) lsusb shows:
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 12d1:14dc Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E33372 LTE/UMTS/GSM HiLink Modem/Networkcard
for sd card you need correct modules like opkg install kmod-usb-storage
we need to know from openwrt but you can try from linux box in usb_modeswitch.conf DisableSwitching=1 unplug/replug and usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1f01 -n -I -M 55534243123456780000000000000011063000000100010000000000000000 you should read in log something like cdc_ncm 1-2:1.3: MAC-Address: 00:1e:10:1f:00:00 cdc_ncm 1-2:1.3 wwan0: register 'cdc_ncm' at usb-0000:02:03.0-2, Mobile Broadband Network Device, 00:1e:10:1f:00:00 usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ncm usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_wdm usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_mbim cdc_ncm 1-2:1.3 wwx001e101f0000: renamed from wwan0
if this works on linux box you should replicate in openwrt https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/wwan/ethernetoverusb_ncm
I thnk that default OpenWRT image has no all repos. Look for outputs below:
root@Bioama-1:~# opkg install kmod-usb-storage
Unknown package 'kmod-usb-storage'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-usb-storage.

root@Bioama-1:~# cd /
root@Bioama-1:/# du -a|grep usb_modeswitch
root@Bioama-1:/# lsusb
-ash: lsusb: not found
But thereis command usbmode
opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-storage kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether comgt-ncm kmod-usb-net-huawei-cdc-ncm usb-modeswitch
then unplug dongle.. reboot.. logread -f re-plug dongle
OK there is the output:

So now I can see SD card partitions. But Ethernet is not present in /dev dir. But output shows that such device is registred:
Mon Jul 20 10:41:15 2020 kern.info kernel: [ 121.585356] cdc_ether 1-1:1.0 eth1: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-ehci-platform-1, CDC Ethernet Device, 0c:5b:8f:27:9a:64
But ifconfig still not shows eth1.
progress
try to add connection from luci and use eth1? or manually from /etc/config/network
config interface 'wan2'
option ifname 'eth1'
option proto 'dhcp'
YEP!!! THX very, very much. Now I can see both SD card and LTE modem as eth1 !
you can remove this to save space if needed
mackowiakp:
I can see both SD
remember to install file system package for your sd card like opkg install kmod-fs-ext4
i also suggest you to google for "how to convert 3372 from hilink to stick mode" this will avoid double nat, then you can follow this to setup https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/wwan/ethernetoverusb_ncm
edit: and dont forget to fix your network for new interface like firewall settings and so on..
cheers
Hmm another problem:
root@Bioama-1:/etc# opkg install kmod-fs-ext4
Unknown package 'kmod-fs-ext4'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-fs-ext4
opkg update
opkg install kmod-fs-ext4
don't forget to fix your firewall for new interface
Oh, yes. I forgot that now default gateway is LTE port, not wired ethernet. So I have to pkug SIM card. Shame...
don't forget firewall add new connection to wan zone
/etc/config/firewall
config zone
option name 'wan'
option input 'REJECT'
option output 'ACCEPT'
option forward 'REJECT'
option masq '1'
option mtu_fix '1'
option network 'wan wan6 **wan2**' <--- or your chosen name
system
