ugen7.3: <Mobile Connect Mobile Connect> at usbus7, cfg=255 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)
Aha this looks like a clue: cfg=255 is clearly invalid! It should be 0 there is only one config index available.
Try this:
usbconfig -d ugen7.3 set_config 0If that works we can add it as a device hint.

Still no dice. I swapped things around a few times to see if bus 3 or 7 made a difference and tried everything with both a value of 1 and of 0x0001, but to no avail...

Hmm, for some reason it's not able to read the config index value. Seems to be defaulting to 255 whuch indicates the device has not been initialised correctly.
https://wiki.freebsd.org/USB#Debugging_USBI'm not sure there is anything we can do about that.

Crap, does this just mean it's hopeless? Do we think it might be the hardware I'm running pfsense on or just the DWM-222 itself? And there's no way to force a config index on boot?
-
I don't think so. If it's not being initialised correctly we can't force it to do anything much.
I assume it appears like that whether it's connected before or after boot?
You might try it in a different port if you can, maybe a usb 2 vs 3 issue?
If you can try it in a different pfSense device that would probably be conclusive.

I've tried it in all the available USB ports on that machine, but it's an old one, so all the ports are only USB 2. Does 2.5 (or any PFSense) work on 32-bit hardware? I have another old machine that is only 32-bit but with USB 3 that I could try...
-
No, there is no current pfSense version that will run in 32bit x86 hardware. The last version was 2.3.5.
You could test using FreeBSD though: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/12.1/

Hey, did you ever get this to work?
I am in the same boat as you.. and don't really know if i just have to buy another USB modem or if it's possible to get this working with pfsense. -
@djjoakim Oh wow, I completely forgot about this. No, I eventually gave up, boxed the DWM-222 up and returned it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it seemed hopeless to me...

@rmeskill
Thank you for the responce. I have Done the same now.. and i hope the huawei model i bought today will work better :)
