Is Huawei E3372S-153 supported by qmi wwan ?

[Gopakumar Choorakkot Edakkunni]

Thanks Markus and Dan for all the suggestions. I tried an AT^SETPORT
in hopes of getting PPP via the modem, that dint help. I also tried
ndisup to get a cdc eth interface, the AT command says "OK", but then
nothing happens. Finally I just gave up on this modem :).

Rgds,
Gopa.
