How to make Huawei E3372H modem work with ubuntu server 20.04 LTS?

Question

Computer networks

Good afternoon, I bought a modem, and I want to make friends with my home server.
Server - WIN 10 PRO + Virtual Box with Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS
Modem - Huawei E3372H-320 HiLink firmware.
The modem works fine, I took it out of the box, inserted a sim with a paid Internet and everything started up without setting up on Windows.
The address is standard 192.168.8.1, I added a modem to the virtual machine, Ubuntu sees it, but there is no interface. Tried different guides - zero result.

Answer 1

Look for guides on how to put your modem into modem only mode.

Answer 2

Is this possible? That the modem thrown into the virtual machine will work both on the host and in the virtual machine? Try to play with the connect / disconnect Internet button on the main page of the highlink when the virtual machine is running, something may change. Then you can try "usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf -J" and specify in usb_modeswitch.conf: DefaultVendor
= 0x12d1
DefaultProduct = 0x1f01
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x14dc 0x12D1 -P 0x14DC -M “555342431234567800000000000000001106300000010001000000000000000000” and still USB_Modeswitch -v 12D1 -P01 -M "55342431234567800000000000000000000000000"
and watch the status of lsusb.
If usb_modeswitch is installed in the system, then the system switches it to modem mode automatically.
