I used one of these dongles years ago, you may need to enter the network devices interface name in wicd wired internet as it treats dongles as an ethernet device afaik.

you can get the devices interface name by entering the below in a terminal.

ip link

it should be usb0 but it might be something exotic.

Network manager will probably pick this up automatically though.

Thanks for the reply..
Ubuntu uses network-manger application for internet connection so 4G dongle works there, but in devuan, network manager is not available. I would like to know how to use 4G dongle without network manager.

Is this dongle like those pocket wifi dongles?

I found this link which may help from a simple websearch.
