my dmesg gives:
You need to post the full dmesg, preferably boot with the dongle disconnected,
then connect it, and send the resulting output.
These devices usually provide several interfaces, umsm0 is just one of them.
Without this information, it's almost impossible to offer any further advice.
The packaging says the device is E3533 HSPA+ USB Stick
That's one of the more modern ones. It has what Huaweii call, 'hi-link',
which basically means it handles the cellular connection itself and presents
as a network interface. If it's connecting as a serial port and/or mass
storage device, it needs something done, (eject, AT command), to make it
present itself as a network interface, (which will be an urndis device).
I was using Huaweii dongles and other such devices with OpenBSD at least as
far back as 5.0-release and they seem to have a lot of strange oddities.
But they can often be made to work.
