Hello! I got some lte modems e3372h. If I plug them in Windows they immediately operate in hilink and connect without further issues.
I tried to connect them to a Raspi 4B running 21.01.2
{
"kernel": "5.4.179",
"hostname": "whale",
"system": "ARMv8 Processor rev 3",
"model": "Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5",
"board_name": "raspberrypi,4-model-b",
"release": {
"distribution": "OpenWrt",
"version": "21.02.2",
"revision": "r16495-bf0c965af0",
"target": "bcm27xx/bcm2711",
"description": "OpenWrt 21.02.2 r16495-bf0c965af0"
}
}
The problem that I see is that they are constantly changing mode.

14db would be the normal id for modem, however in the second instance #51 changed into 1f01 which is the mass storage mode. Tried the usbmode -s but nothing really changed.
dmesg and logread are flooded with these messages notifying of the idProduct change:

I don't have any new entries in /dev or in /sys
Some more troubleshooting.

I tried with both NCM and modemmanager. Does anyone have any idea how to proceed? Would it make sense to try to change mode on a desktop linux?
Some information from the modems when connected to windows.
