I made a test at rpi2  with opensuse Tumbleweed image.

There are all versions of usb_modeswitch, qmi, modemmanager suitable. 

There are only two lines for connect:

mmcli -m 0 --simple-connect="apn=internet.telekom,ip-type=ipv4" --verbose

dhcpcd wwan0

and two for disconnect:

dhcpcd -x wwan0

mmcli -m 0 --simple-disconnect


I downloaded 300MB (400 packages) to test the connection. 
It was stable. So I think rpi 2 architecture/hardware works with E398 well.

The problems(solutions) are based on images/distributions.
