Try doing a "status" command first.

	$ sudo qmi-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 status

A recent firmware update to a similar modem here was auto connecting
and the "start" command would fail but the modem was ready to go.

Perhaps try running a dhcp client by hand,  I think something like this
depending on the packages installed:

	dhclient wwan0

Also,  what is the output of (you might need to change the 1-1 to 1-1.3):

	cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/bConfigurationValue

and

	cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/bNumConfigurations
