Is it possible to switch the stick from HiLink mode to PPP or serial modem mode for Linux router compatibility? Can HiLink be switched off without a firmware update?

So, I'm using this stick with Alpine Linux in a router configuration. The following:

- The stick is recognised as an eth device (not as a com port).
- In order for the stick to be recognised as eth, you have to switch it from mass-storage mode to eth mode, which can be done with usb_modeswitch.
- To avoid problems with the PIN under linux, just use the stick once under win/mac and select "save pin", then you don't have to enter it again.
- If the stick is configured correctly you can get an ip via dhcp, but this is a NAT ip, as far as I could see it is not possible to get the external ip directly on the virtual eth-adapter.

Hello
Yes, it should work, but it needs some configuration effort, which would void the warranty. So I can't recommend it.
In principle, you would have to install older firmware and adjust the config to make the stick think it is using a com port.
