Hah, yeah. I'm discussing with Huawei devs about this actually. Same
thing happened in a E3372h from Airtel India.

You can convince MM to use the WWAN with a udev rule like this:

# Airtel branded E3372h-607, using huawei-cdc-ncm driver but with
unresponsive cdc-wdm port
ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1506",
ENV{ID_MM_HUAWEI_NDISDUP_SUPPORTED}="1"

I don't think this is a general solution, though, because that vid:pid
is not just for this specific kind of firmware, but it's a start.
