Huawei e3372 not working
Hi,
I've been trying Fedora 21 and Fedora 22. While Fedora 21 detects the device itself and the network operator "Play Online" (Poland) correctly, it doesn't show any Billing Plan, and after the configuration it spends a long while trying to connect (the blue LED on the device shines then constantly). Then, the system gives up (LED off). Fedora 22 doesn't detect the device at all.
I've been trying to follow this tutorial:
http://www.modemunlock.com/huawei-linux-driver-download-and-installation.html
It gave a lot of errors during installation, saying that only modem will work. This didn't however seem to affect the system's or device's behaviour.
This issue applies to both 32 bit and 64 bit, KDE and Gnome, tested on two totally different laptops. Entering the PIN code, and/or manipulating with Verification Methods didn't help at all.
Additiionally it seems to go the same way on every Linux distribution that is based on RPM packages (PCLinuxOS, Fedora 21, 22,Rosa Linux, Manjaro, Open Mandriva), while the modem works just out-of-the-box on DEB distributions i've tested (*buntu, Mint, Debian).
Any ideas, please?
EDIT
journalctl -f reports this:
I made in bold what seems to me important.

Well, normally the USB modems works in Fedora without installing any custom drivers. Take a fresh Fedora 21 and create a profile for your network provider and post the output results.
