I ran into a bug that crashed dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable when using the dongle in "HiLink router mode" with kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether, so flashed the dongle to "stick mode" and now using kmod-usb-net-huawei-cdc-ncm instead.

it looks like some part of netifd may be confused whether the "option mode" clause should really be "option modes", when I added both options it silenced the error but didn't help the interface to start.

If I use minicom -D /dev/cdc-wdm0
I don't get any response to AT commands, but then if I try the same when the stick is plugged into the Fedora PC, I get no responses either, so that may not be significant

Wrt the config: Did /dev/cdc-wdm0 work as an AT command management device in Fedora? IIRC, different Huawei firmwares beahve differently here. But if the /dev/ttyUSBx device works, then I guess this isn't important.

This is misleading at best. That might have been the original meaning, but the option driver is now a multi-vendor generic fast USB serial driver. And it specifically supports the serial functions of most Huawei 3G and LTE modems.

That is pointless. Did you try this yourself? The usb-wwan module is only a support module with some shared functions for option, qcserial and ipw drivers. It supports no modems by itself. But the option driver depends on it, so it will be installed when you install it.

It can be a bit confusing, because you have to use the /dev/cdc-wdm0 on some Huawei modems. On most you can use either the /dev/cdc-wdm0 or the /dev/ttyUSBx devices. And yet another bunch is like yours where you have to use /dev/ttyUSBx.

Not sure how far it's getting with that, but "ip route show" doesn't have anything on the wwan0 interface, and the interface has no IP address, Interface still shows "up" but without receiving any bytes ...

Actually I just ran modemmanager in debug mode
however the output is too big to paste here,
I tried to upload as an attachment, but it apparently I'm only authorised to upload ,jpgs etc
can someone authorise me to upload a .txt file?

I flashed my Huawei e3372h-153 with Stick firmware and I'm able to connect via modem in Catalina.Instructions here.The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.

I have a Huawei WIFI mini 2 (which is different than yours) and I contacted their customer services, they responded very quickly and sent me a new driver by email within 1 day. Now my problem is solved and they told me that they will release new drivers very soon.
