Looks good, your need to follow this:
You don't need to install usb-modeswitch

Yes, that's a show stopper...
But if we ignore that issue, then this module should work fine in OpenWrt. It is one of few which implemented the NCM/MBIM dual function. Very weird, but supported by the cdc_mbim and cdc_ncm drivers in Linux. It will default to MBIM mode in OpenWrt and can be managed lke any other MBIM modem.

I tried following the instructions here:-
but don't get the output suggested from dmesg.
Should I install usb-modeswitch ?
ifconfig usb0 does not find the device.
You followed the instructions from the wrong page.

I followed the page you suggested, and from my inderstanding there were three metthods to choose from. I chose RNDIS.
After rebooring, I now find a wwan0 device with an associated IP address of 10.206.202.25.
My laptop is connected to a home broadband router for Internet access, so I guess I need to change something to test if I can ping 8.8.8.8 via wwan0.
How do I do that?
How do I tell if there is a 3G signal?
You don't need to "chose" anything. Your modem is in a stick mode, so I pointed you to the page where NCM configuration process is described, just follow the instructions on that particular page.
Once everything is configured you can ping an outside IP address from the router, optionally - through a specific interface: ping -I wwan0 8.8.8.8
I see a 3G signal on my phone. If that is the case could I expect to use my H5321 module with OpenWrt?
This is more of a learning exercise than anything else, since I'm hoping that if I manage to configure such a card, I should be able to use that example for a different WWAN card.
I've just noticed that 'ping -I wwan0 8.8.8.8' works, so I've achieved what I wanted to initially achieve.
How would I turn this laptop into a router for my local LAN?
Make sure your modem (NCM) interface is in the wan firewall zone as our wiki says, then simply try to access the Internet from a PC connected to the LAN port of your OpenWrt device.
Not sure how to do that. Do you mean change my /etc/config/network?
root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/network
config interface 'loopback'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
option netmask '255.0.0.0'
option device 'lo'
config interface 'lan'
option proto 'dhcp'
option device 'eth0'
config interface 'wwan'
option proto 'ncm'
option device '/dev//cdc-wdm0'
option pdptype 'IP'
option apn 'internet'
Remove an extra slash.
All the configuration steps are described in the wiki. In particular:
Assign the firewall zone (wan) on 'Firewall Settings' tab.
