Connect to Huawei E355 Router via USB interface
without any kernel hacking and without network-manager
The following workaround is tested with
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and Linux kernel 3.13.0-35-generic
simple workaround on command line (e.g. with gnome-terminal)
============================================================
1.) Get root access via command
sudo su -
2.) Append the following two lines to file /etc/network/interfaces
auto wwan0
iface wwan0 inet dhcp
3.) Disable all Internet connections via network-manager
(i.e. disable or remove WLAN connections to the Internet)
The network-manager should not start any Internet connections after reboot.
4.) Restart networking with the following commands or reboot
(for details see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1301015 )
ifdown --exclude=lo -a && ifup --exclude=lo -a
5.) Show status: IP address is shown in second line with the following command
ifconfig wwan0
6.) Check internet connection
ping www.ubuntu.com
Note:
After reboot, the router is automatically connected.
An additional local connection managed by network-manager did not interfere
with this wwan0 configuration.

Title:
huawei E355 usb router not working properly in xubuntu 14.04

Bug description:
huawei E355 is a USB router (1x Ethernet-over-USB, 5 x WLAN) [1].
with ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (3.8 series of kernel), it was recognised and
worked properly by default. a connection was created under the 'wired
connection' option just by plugging the device into the machine.
however, since then it never worked properly. in (x)ubuntu 13.10, an
alternative worked [2,3]; which unfortunately stopped working in
xubuntu 14.04.
expected behaviour: one connection under wired connection and one
under wifi connection should be available. ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, ubuntu
13.04 performed in expected manner.
present behaviour: only wifi hotspot generated by the router could be
used. the ethernet over usb function is totally unavailable in
(x)ubuntu 14.04.
possible reason: cdc_ncm kernel was changed beyond 3.8 series but the
changes was not considered in the modem manager. in [2,3], the
provided solution was based on deactivating the changes made in the
cdc_ncm beyond 3.8 kernel series.
