First of all, driver development impossible without device itself.
Second, I can't find any details about how to activate NDIS mode on OpenWRT by
link your provided.
At last, is "HWActivator" application/daemon needed? It provided in binary(x86)
form only.

Well the HowTo ist formulated in this post:
http://www.umtslink.at/3g-forum/threads/69584-DC-HSPA-Datenstick-mit-OpenWRT?p=9
35424&viewfull=1#post935424
First they Install some 3G Stuff which seems to be not provided by naked
OpenWRT - some of it is allready included in "New Oleg"
[code] opkg update
opkg install comgt
opkg install kmod-usb-serial-option
opkg install usb-modeswitch-data[/code]
Then they create a network Interface "WAN2" - here i couldnt find any
configuration file for that in your Firmware.
[code]
vi /etc/config/network
config interface 'wan2'
option ifname 'ppp0'
option device /dev/ttyUSB0
option apn 'drei.at'
option service 'umts'
option proto '3g'
vi /etc/config/firewall
config zone
option name wan
option network 'wan wan2'
option input REJECT
option output ACCEPT
option forward REJECT
option masq 1
option mtu_fix 1
--> wan2 bei "option network" hinzufügen[/code]
after that there are some scripts for optimizing initalisation and connecting
time.
[code]vi /etc/hotplug.d/tty/30-3g
change sections as senn below:
find_3g_iface() {
local cfg="$1"
local tty="$2"
local proto
config_get proto "$cfg" proto
[ "$proto" = 3g ] || return 0
local auto
config_get_bool auto "$cfg" auto 1
[ "$auto" = 1 ] || [ "$ACTION" = remove ] || return 0
local dev
config_get dev "$cfg" device
if [ "${dev##*/}" = "${tty##*/}" ]; then
if [ "$ACTION" = add ]; then
log "Starting interface $cfg for device ${dev##*/}"
( sleep 4; /sbin/ifup "$cfg" ) &
else
log "Stopping interface $cfg for device ${dev##*/}"
/sbin/ifdown "$cfg" &
fi
fi
}
sleep 1 ersetzen durch sleep 4
--> Beware failing of script after first Plug-in of the stick because it was'nt
fully initialized
vi /etc/ppp/options
Put at the end
holdoff 1
--> reduzes reconnect time (error in pppd)
[/code]
after that to reduce problems insisted with NAT
[code]opkg install kmod-ipt-nathelper-extra [/code]
configure IP as a DMZ (demilitarized zone)
[code]vi /etc/config/firewall
# forward all incoming connections to a specific host (DMZ)
# addedd 2012-04-10
config redirect
option src wan2
option proto all
option dest_ip 10.0.0.1 [/code]
HWActivator ist not needed - it provides only Popup on System with Desktop of
the connection tool also provided with the driver package.

Our firmware don't provide same configuration scripts as OpenWRT.
As I can see from sample, you provided, interface wan2 use device /dev/ttyUSB0.
It is not NDIS, it is simple usbserial connection!
Probably, hw_cdc, cdc-wdm & qmi-wwan drivers provides NDIS interface for such
Huawei modems, but it requires:
1) backports from kernel upstream
2) device(hardware) for testing

Hmm for point 1 I can only help gathering possible Information.
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libqmi-devel/2012-September/000229.html
https://bitbucket.org/accelecon/linux-at91/changesets
What i found out googeling for that task was:
Dovado routers already have running ndis support - no doubt which kernel they
are running.
Rumors said - dd-wrt may also running ndis support - maybe they got special
help from ASUS - but i could not find any clear source for that.
for Point 2 - i will receive my E372 very soon.
I think it will become a crusial point, when LTE spreads out. somewhere i read
a bout a guy which got no more data over usbserial when the stick booked into
LTE net (IP everywhere)....

Short summary - this feature requires:
1) backport of cdc-wdm, qmi-wwan kernel drivers
2) libqmi-glib (qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --wds-start-network=apn
--client-no-release-cid)
Additionally, libqmi adds dependency to huge(for embedded devices) glib2 >=2.32
library. Used gobject & gio interfaces only.

uqmi (small utility to manage QMI speaking modems by Felix Fietkau from OpenWRT
project) added in r4878-r4881. All is ready for tests by experienced users.
The rest is tests & rc+webUI support.
