is the Huawei E3372 LTE USB stick unlocked, I have a sim inserted in the dongle. The thing is to completely turn off the device to change the external IP of the sim. When I unplug and plug again the dongle it gets a new IP for example:
I have the 37.29.232.115 (I get with https://wtfismyip.com/text) and when manually disconnect to the usb port and connect again I have a new IP 37.29.241.237. Can I do this from command line? I have tried usb_modeswitch, uhubctl, echo suspend > /sys/bus/usb/devices/x-x/power/level and a lot of things but I never get to cut the electricity in the dongle.
This is some command I tried. Also I tried to add in the config files some lines for the hub to get recognized but never sucessfully.
sudo uhubctl -a off -p 2 -l 3-4
No compatible smart hubs detected at location 3-4!
Run with -h to get usage info.
There were permission problems while accessing USB.
To fix this, run this tool as root using 'sudo uhubctl',
or add one or more udev rules like below
to file '/etc/udev/rules.d/52-usb.rules':
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2001", MODE="0666"
then run 'sudo udevadm trigger --attr-match=subsystem=usb
Also when I do lsusb -t
luis@xx-xx-xx-3:/sys/bus/usb/devices$ lsusb -t
/: Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/4p, 5000M

I know is the bus 03. port 4. but when I go to the directory and do ls I get a lot of things folders inside the folders, like this:
luis@xx-xx-xx-3:/sys/bus/usb/devices/3-4$ ls
3-4:1.0 bConfigurationValue bMaxPacketSize0 configuration driver ltm_capable product speed version

avoid_reset_quirk bDeviceSubClass bNumInterfaces devnum idProduct port remove uevent
bcdDevice bmAttributes busnum devpath idVendor power rx_lanes urbnum
I dont know why appears a lot of folders what does it mean? and if I go back i get also the sames folders:
luis@xx-xx-xx-3:/sys/bus/usb/devices$ ls
1-0:1.0 1-4 1-4:1.0 2-0:1.0 3-0:1.0 3-2 3-2:1.0 3-2:1.1 3-4 3-4:1.0 3-4:1.1 4-0:1.0 usb1 usb2 usb3 usb4
I also tried usbreset and it works fine but doesnt cut the electricity. Can you help me?
I use Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
