[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 1/2] wwan: Add support for CDC (Huawei 'HiLink') Modems

[Jakub Jančo]

It is not true. My 3372h may need PIN. It is on me if I disable PIN
verification in modem webif. Only problem is that it is not universal
- I need send http POST request to webif to unlock SIM, instead AT
cmd.
So maybe someone implement unlocking hilink modems on every start - so
we need PIN.
