As I said, I reckon it's a mobilephone-type device. Anyway, I googled r8152 wwan (from your output) which hits https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common.git/+/bcmdhd-3.10/drivers/net/usb/Kconfig on which r8152 tells you about Realtek RTL8152 Based USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapters and wwan tells you about Sierra Wireless USB-to-WWAN device. Sierra wwan then gives you stuff about 2/3/4G broadband. (Of not much interest to me.) Cheers, David.
