      I have USB dongle and SIM card with internet. When I connect it to my MacBook it allows me to connect to internet without any configuration.

      On the other hand, pfSense is requiring to specify some strange options like Country, Provider, Plan, Username and Password.

      When I select my country, it doesn't show my Provider.

      Is it possible to configure this dongle with pfSense? Or is it possible to borrow these parameters from MacBook? How can MacBook connect if it doesn't know all of them?

        It was a device, simulating network card. Once I installed it as network card (just added it's interface), everything worked
