Oh yea, that list was built for MM 1.0, quite a long time ago...<br>

A lot of the new Huawei modules (HiLink firmwares) aren't managed by<br>
ModemManager any more, instead they provide a network interface and<br>
expose a built-in web to configure the modem. If you just need<br>
connectivity, this may be perfectly enough for your use case.<br>
<br>
If you do need control over the modem, though, something managed by<br>
ModemManager would be better. Huawei also has non-HiLink firmware<br>
variants that e.g. work in MBIM mode and that allows easy integration<br>
with ModemManager. E.g. I've seen E3372 devices managed in both ways.<br>
<br>
I'm personally not going to recommend any USB dongle myself, because I<br>
really don't use them much (mostly playing with minipci/m2 modules<br>
lately), so not sure which ones are better than others really... Any<br>
module that works either in QMI or MBIM mode should be good enough I<br>
guess. Maybe someone else has suggestions here?<br>
