Nope. Does not work. Dongle still shows up in file manager as a
volume. Unmounted it and then gave the usbserial command. Tried
bringing the connection up using NM. Same error "registration denied".

a) Is ifupdown configuration mandatory for this device?
b) Once the connection fails, it seems to switch back to storage mode.
c) Is usb_switchmode config mandatory for this? If so, what would the entry
be?

I got one yesterday - Huawei 3276. I think it has got activated as the
green light on the dongle keeps blinking.
I think loading usbserial module for this particular product id and
vendor id combination might work.
lsusb will give you product id and vendor id.
sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=id product=id
See whether Network Manager detects the modem after this.
Thanks and Regards
