Never mind - ended up solving my own problem - once I rebooted with the addition to the conf file - the application showed up on the Services drop down menu where I could enable and configure it - it is now up and running - no problems.
Yep, all good. Not sure what the original problem source was, but am sure that once I went in via console, reset and reconfigured, it was receptive and behaved as expected. Thx for the follow up!
Hmm, 71da does not appear to be listed as a USB PID anywhere I can see.
Some drivers can seemingly attach based on the config type though such as urndi but without seeing the out full config dump there's no way to tell. And even if it does attach if the phone just shuts it down that won't help.
We really need the phone to present a stable device to pfSense.
You cannot use CE image for SG-1000, it's for x86-64 architecture. Download the SG-1000 ARM based image from portal.pfsense.org. If access to your portal expired after first year, it will be renewed automatically. Let me know if that's not the case.
What happened is that SG-3100 stopped at startup in the "Syncing OpenVPN settings.. Enter Auth Password:
enter the password for the OpenVPN user, that i tried to setup. it started normally.
Deleted the OpenVPN user, and tested a reboot now, everything normal.
