With the AC341U you may get a "usb0" interface where you can run DHCP
directly and then access the Web UI interface via http://192.168.1.1
(or whatever IP it gets). But, the AC341U may also give you an MBIM
function to control and manage the modem (which I guess you'd prefer
being a headless system), at the same time as the usb0 interface, plus
TTYs and what not. I've usually seen this device managed in MBIM mode
with ModemManager (you need cdc_mbim, cdc-wdm drivers in the kernel,
plus a new enough libmbim+ModemManager).

How about you send the debug log of MM to see where you're stuck at?
