Modem manager 1.0 states, that it added compabibility for mbim - but it does not appear to be available in the repositories for LMDE.
I think that this post http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... n0#p779780 is about quite the same problem - but the given solution does not work under LMDE.
Any Idea on how to get this working?
Side note 1: if I use an olther HUAWEI device without mbim support, it is correctly switched by usbmodeswitch and works correctly - but very slow. Thats why i want to get the new device up and running...
Side note 2: using lsusb the device shows up as E398, but same vendor and device id:
