Huawei E3372 USB Modem won't show up
-
Ok so it changed to a different device, which is expected, and seemingly one that is nit recognised. So what did it show after the modeswitch?
-
@stephenw10 After i do that, the usbconfig dump_all_desc only shows me the same devices as before, but without ugen3.3, only 3.2, so it's gone from the list..
And the last i can see in the logs is that it's disconnected, after i did usb_modeswitch
Oct 24 21:10:21 kernel ugen3.3: <HUAWEIMOBILE HUAWEIMOBILE> at usbus3 (disconnected) -
Hmm, I expect it to dissapear and then re-appear as a new device. Nothing much we can do if it never appears again. Maybe you're switching it to the wrong mode.
Does it have more than one config index when you first connect it?

@stephenw10 I use this command when i changed it, don't know if it's the right one:
usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f01 -c /usr/local/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1f01
Hmm, i don't really know how to see that, i need to reboot pfsense to make it pop up again, i will do that and then see what it tells me.

The output of
usbconfig dump_all_descwill show you that. If you post it here we can check it. -
@stephenw10 This is what i get without doing anything, since it flagged the code as spam, here is the code;

Mmm, only 1 config index in the default mode so nothing we can do there.
It really disappears completely after running modeswitch?
If so the only thing you can do there is run a different modeswitch command. Or trying to switch it some other way like just ejecting the virtual CD drive.
Some devices can be permanently switched from their web interfaces if you access that in some other OS first.Steve

@stephenw10 Yep, all the other devices that are in that list are still there, but that one is just gone... and i don't really know where to find it..
I have now tried to change it trough another computer, but there was no such settings in that webui..
Do you know what other type of modeswitch command i can try?
Thanks

Not really, it's often a custom command. Check the usb-modeswitch forum.

@stephenw10 Thanks, i will check there.
