I would put the newest firmware on it first.

Thanks for the link you provided. I don't really understand the requirements. I don't have a userid/password and it's odd that I can simply put the SIM in my Lenovo tablet and it simply connects…

As for the latest firmware, I don't see a link on Huawei's website http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-broadband/dongles/tech-specs/e3372.htm

And the number of versions of the firmware here is very confusing

@Balanga

Did you get you Dongle working in the end? if so what guide did you follow?

it's probably just the usbmodeswitch is not updated yet to work on your usb modem.

you can try sending a AT command on the huawei modem to set it as a modem mode only instead of hybrid mode (eg CD+Memstick >> Drivers and dashboard detected to be installed >> CD+Memstick+Data).
