With huawei_cdc_ncm you should use /dev/cdc-wdm0. Regular DHCP client
should work since the firmware in the stick provides a DHCP server. I
was able to get an IP-address a couple of times with udhcpc, but no
other data transfer was possible. AT^DHCP on the other hand always
works, since NCM transfer is not involved.

I really doubt that E3372 non-HiLink is working for anyone on Linux. The
HiLink-version on the other hand does work, since again, NCM is not
involved. Note that many other Huawei modems do work correctly with
huawei_cdc_ncm, e.g., E3276.

According to Enrico Huawei's own driver works also with E3372, but I
remember I was not able to compile it for a relatively recent kernel.
