I found this in the changelog for the upstream kernel 3.2-rc6:

usb: option: Add Huawei E398 controlling interfaces

This patch adds the controlling interfaces for the Huawei E398.

Thanks to Bjørn Mork <bjorn@xxxxxxx> for extracting the interface
numbers from the windows driver.

I'm not sure if it's enough to get this device working.  A PPA of this kernel is available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
Can you test with this kernel and let us know the result?
