It looks pretty consistent from when I set up a Gobi 3G card years ago. I got lazy and use tethering. This FAQ[2] walks you through a manual configuration of a Huawei WWWAN to test the concept. You will need to know you SIM PIN if used and certainly your APN for your Cell Provider. That ww* interface is auto-created and can be used with different configuration/managnement tools[3]. Good Luck!
