Well, yesterday I visited some ISP shops here and they mostly offered
dongles or routers as the second and third above, E3372 4G and/or E5573C
4G. And in the veterans club here they had an older dongle (i.e. the
first one above, 3G) that was earlier used at some Wintendo machine. I
inserted it for test into a dual-boot Wintendo / Devuan Jessie 64bit and
nothing happened. (On the other side, Wintendo installed drivers and app
from files located within the dongle memory.)

I found some info on the net that such dongles might require to be
switched from the bulk memory stick mode to the modem mode, or something
like that, to be able to activate in Linux.

However, I asked in this list here because I wondered if Devuan distro
might have some special requirements regarding running such modem
dongles. So, in general I wonder what software packages from repository
are used with such type of peripherals.
