      @GiaNN said in Huawei k5160 4g usb mobile broadband:

      if i create a PPP the Huawei LED starts blinking

      Create it how?

      There's a good chance there are multiple versions of that modem and that they behave differently, Many modems do.

        @stephenw10 through the interfaces GUI, in the section PPP.
        Then if i enable the interface the LED starts blinking but it cannot properly start PPP

          So you see USB serial ports created? Like cuaU0-3?

            @stephenw10 i don't remember, where i see that?
            I used as device the /dev/cuau0 and then it started blinking if enabled.

              /dev/cuau0 is one of the on-board com ports not the modem. The ports created by a modem are shown with an uppercase 'U' to indicate they are USB connected.

              Plug in the modem and then check the system log. If it's recognised you will see log entries showing the new ports created.

                @stephenw10 in dmesg shows this:

                  Ok, so u3g doesn't recognise it. You should see something like:

                  uhub0: 8 ports with 8 removable, self powered
ugen0.2: <Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Mobile> at usbus0
u3g0 on uhub0
u3g0: <Huawei Mobile Connect - Modem> on usbus0
u3g0: Found 5 ports.

                  If it can work at all it probably needs to be modeswitched. Or reflashed with different firmware.

                  Note that the OP here never got this modem working, they switched to a different device. And I don't see an entry for it in u3g:
                  https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/devel-main/sys/dev/usb/serial/u3g.c#L339

                    How? i'll make the last try. Then maybe i'll get a different model o try maybe with an OpenWRT VM or something linux based (i tried on Debian and there it's plug & play)

                      Ok, first thing is to get the USB IDs it's presenting as currently using the usbconfig command:

                      usbconfig -d ugen2.2 dump_all_desc

                        @stephenw10 i'm putting it on pastebin because it gets flagged as spam idk why. If there a way to post it without getting it flagged i'll do it.

                          Aha, it has two config indexes and second one has a coms device interface. Try:

                          usbconfig -d ugen2.2 set_config 1

                          See what the system log shows. Or on the console if you're using that directly.

                            @stephenw10 if i do dmesg it doesn't show anything new after that comand.
                            And in PPP there's still the default interface

                              Hmm, it really showed nothing in the system log?

                              That other config doesn't have com ports but it should have exposed the USB Ethernet interface, ue0. That should be in the log.

                              Try: usbconfig -d ugen2.2 dump_curr_config_desc

                              Make sure it shows config index 1.

                                @stephenw10 this is the dump it should be on config index 1.
                                This is dmesg since i inserted the Huawei there's nothing new after the comand:

                                  Hmm, odd it shows config index 1 in the output. But nothing new was logged? Those logs all appear to be ~20mins old.

                                  Try running ifconfig, do you see a ue0 interface?

                                    @stephenw10 yes i put only the log after i inserted the Huawei, after i did that command nothing new showed up, now i've removed it and reinserted back, did usbconfig -d ugen2.2 set_config 1 and if i do ifconfig the new interface is this:

                                    ppp1: flags=8890<POINTOPOINT,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

                                    And maybe this

                                    this is the entire list without the IPs

                                      Hmm, curious. Testing that here in 23.05.1 it applies imediately:

                                      Sep 18 14:07:58 	kernel 		ue0: Ethernet address: 02:1e:10:1f:00:00
Sep 18 14:07:58 	kernel 		ue0: <USB Ethernet> on cdce0
Sep 18 14:07:58 	kernel 		cdce0: <CDC Ethernet Control Model (ECM)> on usbus0
Sep 18 14:07:58 	kernel 		cdce0 on uhub0
Sep 18 14:07:58 	kernel 		u3g0: detached
Sep 18 14:07:58 	kernel 		u3g0: at uhub0, port 4, addr 1 (disconnected)

                                      If you replug the modem into the port does it go back to config index 0?

                                      It could be the index 1 interfaces are still not recognised but I would expect something because the virtual cd drive not present in index 1.

                                      Other things you can try are; ejecting the virtual CD drive. Or using usbmodeswitch directly.

                                      cdcontrol eject

                                        @stephenw10 if i replug it, there's still config index 1
                                        if i do cdcontrol eject nothing seems to happen

                                        If i want to try with usbmodeswitch how should i do?

                                          So it still showed it was using config index 1 after replugging? That's surprising.

                                          Yes, you can try usb_modeswitch. Install the pkg like:
