The e3372h comes in multiple versions as well 2 different firmwares.
 
How to tell them apart:
A. the hilink firmware is plug and play on raspbian. Once inserted, run `ifconfig` and you'll see a new `eth1` interface. Usually with an assigned IP of 192.168.8.100.
 
B. the stick firmware, once inserted, run `ifconfig` and you'll see a new `wwan0` interface, as well as these new devices: /dev/cdc-wdm0 , /dev/cdrom and probably /dev/sg0 , /dev/sg1 and /dev/sr0 .
 
How to set them up:
A. hilink firmware is plug and play
 
B. stick firmware needs setup. I found 2 methods that are supposed to work:
B.1. using mbimcli:
B.1.1. Run
sudo apt install libmbim-utils
sudo mbimcli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --query-device-caps
sudo mbim-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 start
B.1.2. If it works (takes up to 90 seconds), automatically start it on boot:
Run
sudo nano /etc/mbim-network.conf
Insert
APN="internet"
USERNAME=""
PASSWORD=""
IP="dhcp"
Apn `internet` might be different for your ISP.

B.1.3.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/mbim-network.service
Insert
[Unit]
Description=MBIM network connection
After=network.target usb-devices.target
Wants=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mbim-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 start
ExecStop=/usr/bin/mbim-network /dev/cdc-wdm0 stop
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
B.1.4. Enable service:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now mbim-network.service
B.2. using network-manager
sudo apt update
sudo apt install modemmanager modem-manager-gui
nmcli connection add type gsm ifname cdc-wdm0 con-name stick apn internet gsm.pin ****
nmcli connection.autoconnect yes
nmcli connection up stick
Entry apn `internet` might be different for your ISP.
(I think some commands are missing here, because modemmanager (mmcli) is installed but networkmanager (nmcli) is used.
