speedstick lte (alcatel onetouch L100) does not connect on wl-500gp v2 #426

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. connect usb 4g lte stick to router
2. configure proper options on gui
3. reboot the router / reconnect the device

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the router should connect to the internet

What version of the product are you using?
1.9.2.7-rtn-r5066

Details:
after reading up on other issues/tickets and other forums, i narrowed my 
problem somewhat. as opposed to what i think should happen, in my case:

it seems the device connects properly and usb_modeswitch does switch it to the 
expected id, however qmi_wwan does not seem to load: /dev/cdc-wdm0 is not 
created (thus i couldn't use uqmi)

i've attached the relevant segment from syslog

note that the qmi_wwan error entries only ever appeared once through my 
multiple attempts (i might have been fiddling on the command line when that 
happened)

updated to 1.9.2.7-rtn-r5335
it didn't help.
seeing the exact same symptoms (same syslog output, nothing from qmi_wwan, no 
/dev/cdc-wdm0 created on fs)

i managed loading qmi_wwan manually (insmod-ed it and it's deps: usbnet and 
acm-wdm)
so it just seems these aren't triggered automatically (at least for me)

now i tickle /dev/cdc-wdm0 with uqmi (get signal strength, pin info whatnot).

running --start-network <myapn>

results in

"handle=<a number>"

i thought this would actually init my connection, but it doesn't (the led keeps 
blinking offline-ish, and uqmi says status is disonnected), so where do i go 
from here? 
am i supposed to edit the network interfaces to something manually?
please help?

(from the syslog i see pppd is still trying, but keeps failing...)

Did you set "Ethernet over USB" as WAN connection?

http://my.router/Advanced_USBNet_Content.asp WAN as default or at 
http://my.router/Advanced_WAN_Content.asp "WAN Connection Type" as "Ethernet 
over USB"

And please send us "Diagnostic info" at 
http://my.router/Main_SysInfo_Content.asp

success. i think... i set all the settings on ethernet over usb manually, and 
it connects. before you tell me to feel stupid, i tried this more then once 
(before attempting to insmod qmi_wwan manually), and never got here.
strange, but now it works, so i'm happy. 
thanks for your help!
