Title:
  Huawei E3372 (& other hilink dongles?) cannot be used for connecting
  to the internet

Status in usb-modeswitch package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have Huawei E3372 which works directly when I plug it in Windows 10,
  but on Ubuntu I cannot use it for connecting to the internet. It's
  light is cyan which means it's connected to 4G network, but it does
  nothing.

  It appears in lsusb: `Bus 001 Device 003: ID 12d1:1f01 Huawei
  Technologies Co., Ltd. E353/E3131 (Mass storage mode)`

  And it also appears in ifconfig:

  ```
  lxcbr0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FILTERED  
            inet addr:10.0.3.1  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.0
            inet6 addr: fe80::FILTERED/64 Scope:Link
            UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
            RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
            TX packets:58 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
            collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
            RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:8993 (8.9 KB)
  ```

  I also don't understand where the address 10.0.3.1 comes from as in
  Windows the control panel was in 192.168.8.1 or something like it.

  I also found another bug report,
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1424181 but I
  don't think this is a dupicate as from the title it looks like it
  doesn't appear in lsusb and that bug has expired. This package also
  seems to have bug reports for other dongles.
