Thank You!
I want to contribute to the open community. I donno how to start. I downloaded NetworkManager source code to contribute something but I found it very hard to understand it though I've developed a small software in C++ for a company.

Just because you've got the three endpoints doesn't mean the rest of the
system can actually use them.  Obviously on Windows the manufacturer has
done all the hard work and thus you don't have this problem there.

First you need a kernel driver that can speak the USB protocol the
device speaks.

Second you need to know what command/control protocol is sent over top
of the USB protocol in #1 (AT, DIAG, QMI, WMC, etc) and you need some
software to speak this protocol with the device.  We don't know yet what
protocol each of the USB interfaces speaks.

Can you grab the full "lsusb -v -d 19d2:fff1" output so we can see what
the USB layout is?  Just because an interface has three endpoints
doesn't mean that interface speaks QMI, it might just as easily speak AT
commands or something else too.

Looking through the logs, I'm not sure this device supports QMI.  What
model # is it again?

Also, you could try using ModemManager 0.6.2 which has a fix for ZTE
devices that should more reliably detect their QCDM port, which will get
you signal reporting while PPP is active, using the QCDM/DIAG port of
the device.
