Hi Sanjay, I had gotten Huawei E353 to work with beaglebone in a remote monitoring application. It was not straight forward to get it working.
I had used sakis3g to do the mode switching and get the BB manual connected. sakis3g does not offer a way to auto-reconnect if the connection is hung up for any reason. wvdial will keep a connection up. Google around and you might be able to find examples specific to your service provider. For example: http://www.yantrr.com/wiki/Sample_wvdial.conf_file. Remember you need to do mode switching before starting wvdial. There is a USB reliability issue that is fixed in kernel after around 3.12. Back when I was running 3.2 kernel on the Beaglebone, it would eventually unable to reconnect after a few weeks (at least the data continue to get logged). On 3.8 kernel, there would be kernel panic after just a few days and system stayed in hung state until someone could reset it. System stability improved big time since we switched to 3.15 kernel a few months ago. I might switch to the 3.14-ti kernel the next time I get to work on it. Depending on what else you do on your BB or BBB, you may also need to customize am335x-bone.dtb or am335x-boneblack.dtb to get the pin configuration you need on >3.8 kernel. See http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Capes_3.8_to_3.14#Custom_dtb.
