      Hi Everyone!

      I am facing some problems w/ my Quectel mini PCIE (in USB-Mode, as LTE Backup line) on my little pfSense Box (Qotom, J4125 CPU, AES NI, 5 NIC):

      1. after a cold-boot or hard reset the NID changes, w/ that an update isn't possible since the support depends on the NID 😞
      2. the Interface pfSense detects is "ue0", but, since the module has a "build in" dhcp server w/ its own IP Addresses, there is a double NAT to my Cell-Provider 😞
      3. with the points above the, very responsible (!), pfSense support is nagged w/ the new NID everytime I want to update. Meanwhile they are about to refuse to register the new, temporary, NID... (I can understand their commercial side of view because of fakes and so on, but ...) 😞

      Here are my questions:

      1. Was anyone able to fix that behaviour on the Quectel EP-06 (or similar)?
      2. Will a change to "usbnet",0 (ppp), via AT commands on the Cards TTY (currently not possible via "cu" on the pfSense Box) give a "sticky" MAC Address to fix the NID?

      Here the output while trying that w/ "cu -l /dev/ttyU0.3 -s 19200" on the box:
      Connected
      RDY
      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,0
      ERROR
      ...so no change and therefore I am not able to create a WORKING pppXY IF, since it stays in "factory mode"!
      (BTW: Quectel recommends a cold start after the command, if the response to that command states "OK" ...)

      For Reference, here are the "acceptable" commands the module offers:

      EP06
      Revision: EP06ELAR03A08M4G*

      Addendum. Here are the "usbnet" modes from another forum:
      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,0 < QMI/PPP/Default
      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,1 < ECM
      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,2 < MBIM
      ... and the results from my device on each mode:

      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,1
      ERROR
      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,2
      ERROR
      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,0
      ERROR

      Any suggestion or help is appriciated!

      Kind regards

        Hmm, so it appears with a random MAC address at each boot?

        How exactly does it appear in the boot log? Which driver is it using?

        Which usbnet mode is it using now?

        If you can switch it to ppp mode that would likely remove both the double NAT and the USB Ethernet (so no new NDI) but the throughput will likely be reduced. Possibly a lot.

          Hi Steve!
          I cannot determine which Quectel USB-Mode is used right now, since every "AT+ qfcg="usbnet", [0...2] " query is answered w/ an error.
          But it seems to be the ",1" ECM Mode.

          The bootlog, related to that Quectel device, is this:

          ue0: link state changed to UP
          ue0: permanently promiscuous mode enabled
          ugen0.2: <Quectel EP06-E> at usbus0 (disconnected)
          u3g0: at uhub0, port 6, addr 1 (disconnected)
          u3g0: detached
          cdce0: at uhub0, port 6, addr 1 (disconnected)
          cdce0: detached
          ugen0.2: <Quectel EP06-E> at usbus0
          u3g0 on uhub0
          u3g0: <Quectel EP06-E, class 239/2, rev 2.00/3.10, addr 2> on usbus0
          u3g0: Found 4 ports.
          cdce0 on uhub0
          cdce0: <Quectel EP06-E, class 239/2, rev 2.00/3.10, addr 2> on usbus0
          ue0: <USB Ethernet> on cdce0
          ue0: Ethernet address: 56:8b:1d:94:cc:3d
          ue0: permanently promiscuous mode enabled
          ue0: link state changed to DOWN
          ue0: link state changed to UP

          I added already some of the Kernel Modules by modifying the /boot/loader.conf, so the actual ones are these w/ this additions to the loader.conf:
          if_urndis_load="YES"
          if_cdce_load="YES"
          if_ipheth_load="YES"

          *Id Refs Address Size Name
          1 34 0xffffffff80200000 33a5390 kernel
          2 1 0xffffffff835a6000 4b98 if_urndis.ko
          3 1 0xffffffff835ab000 1e2f0 opensolaris.ko
          6 1 0xffffffff83bbe000 42a0 if_ipheth.ko
          7 1 0xffffffff845e5000 5a80 udf.ko
          8 1 0xffffffff845eb000 2240 cpuctl.ko
          9 1 0xffffffff845ee000 4250 ichsmb.ko
          10 1 0xffffffff845f3000 2178 smbus.ko
          11 1 0xffffffff845f6000 9290 aesni.ko
          12 1 0xffffffff84600000 4428 cryptodev.ko
          13 1 0xffffffff84800000 5d67c8 iimb.ko
          14 1 0xffffffff84605000 20f0 coretemp.ko

          The original loaded ones were these:
          Id Refs Address Size Name
          1 24 0xffffffff80200000 33a5390 kernel
          3 1 0xffffffff83b91000 1e2f0 opensolaris.ko
          4 1 0xffffffff845e5000 5a80 udf.ko
          5 1 0xffffffff845eb000 2240 cpuctl.ko
          6 1 0xffffffff845ee000 4250 ichsmb.ko
          7 1 0xffffffff845f3000 2178 smbus.ko
          8 1 0xffffffff845f6000 9290 aesni.ko
          9 1 0xffffffff84600000 4428 cryptodev.ko
          10 1 0xffffffff84800000 5d67c8 iimb.ko
          11 1 0xffffffff84605000 20f0 coretemp.ko*

          a kldstat -v states this relation:
          374 uhub/cdce

            That was also my idea.
            I forgot to write, that assigning a spoof MAC Address only prevents a change of the NID on a warm reboot.

              What if you just send: AT+QCFG=“usbnet” ?
              I'd expect it to return the current mode. But it seems as though it must be in mode 1 (ecm).

              Do you see an AT prompt on more than one com port?

              I wouldn't have expected to need any additional modules loaded. Did you have to add those before it attached?

              You might try booting in verbose mode. I have seen USB adapters show that the hardware MAC cannot be read and a random one is used. There may be a clue there.

                Good idea, but I did that already before :-). Here are the results:

                No 😊 - Was just an idea and I was curious if that might help.

                Seems to be a good one. I will give it a try.

                  Ah, then I would remove or comment out those loader lines to avoid confusion.

                      You need to use the loader line:
                      boot_verbose=YES

                      Or interrupt the boot at the loader menu (OK> prompt) and enter: boot -v
                      That boot verbose one time.

                          Mmm, nothing terribly revealing there. Importantly it doesn't show:

                          cdce0: on usbus0
cdce0: No valid alternate setting found
device_attach: cdce0 attach returned 6
cdce0: on usbus0
cdce0: faking MAC address
ue0: on cdce0
ue0: Ethernet address: 2a:3f:38:a3:80:00

                          You can remove the verbose line.

                          Check the output of: usbconfig -d ugen0.2 dump_all_desc
                          See if it has more than one config index.

                            No. Only one Index but here you go

                              At the end I guess it depends not on BSD/pfSense but on the Card itself and its behaviour... *sigh
                              Guess I have to remove it from the device and try my luck w/ the Windows drivers and/or ADB to bring in "PPP-Mode" or another one which fixes the MAC Issue. Otherwise I don't want to go back to the CE Edition, since this is also at Test of pfSense+ for some Customers since -overall- the support is great.

                                  To some extent. This Sierra card, for example, does return a value for the MAC address but....

                                  No second config index available on your card.

                                  Yes, switching the mode in something else might be easiest.

                                      Ok. I don't want to disassemble the box, since its 24/6,5 needed. This will take some time until I get another (external) Quectel Card of the same type to "fiddle" around with. I will post the results here.

                                      Many thanks for your time, ideas and help!

                                        Do you get an AT prompt on any other com port? It could be one allows setting values.

                                          Oh yes! I tried all of them (also on the pfSenses GUI to establish a ppp IF), but the ttyu0.3 and cuaU0.3 operate like my historic ZyXel 19k2 landline Modem and its predecessors (Proper Output w/ CR/LF) on the (ssh-) command line/console.

                                            Was one of my idea too :-) - Since the AT Commands documentation from Quectel lacks quite a bit on infos . "AT+QCFG="usbnet", x" isn't explained and not listed in the output of "AT+QCFG=?", but the firmware presents that option, wich is explained in the OpenWRT forum like this:

                                            AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,0 < QMI/PPP/Default (??? - Not in my humble oppinion)
                                            AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,1 < ECM (seems to be the default with Revision: EP06ELAR03A08M4G)
                                            AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,2 < MBIM

                                            The 0.3 allows me to set any other settings like this:
                                            AT+CFUN=1,1 (reset/reboot the card)
                                            OK
                                            or
                                            AT+QCFG="volte_disable",1 (self explaining)
                                            OK
                                            or
                                            AT+IPR=921600 (set "line"-Speed)
                                            OK
                                            But not this one at tty/cua 0.0-3 :
                                            AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,0
