      AT+QCFG=“usbnet” ?

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

      [some prompt]/root: cu -l /dev/ttyU0.3 -s 19200
      Connected
      AT+QCFG=“usbnet” ?
      ERROR
      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”
      ERROR
      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,?
      ERROR

      Best regards

      Did you have to add those before it attached?

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

      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.

      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.

                    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....

                        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
                                  ERROR

                                    You do have an alternate interface descriptor on interface 5. You could try setting it:
                                    usbconfig -d ugen0.2 -i 5 set_alt 1

                                    I don't really expect that to work TBH. It will probably just refuse as the interface is in use.

                                      Hi Everyone! Hello Steve!!

                                      Finally I got that Quectel EP06-E running in PPP-Mode WITHOUT having a dynamic MAC ueX Ethernet interface.

                                      Preamble: The cuaU Device which is held by the Modem-Card depends on your Hardware!! The named one here is only for Reference!!

                                      Steps:

                                      Connect (ssh) to the pfSense box, get a shell (option 8), and open the LTE cards AT-Interface via a serial link & cu

                                      cu -l /dev/cuaU0.3 -s 115200 -> serial connection to the Modem-Card w/ 115200 baud

                                      This "linespeed" is imho mandatory since other modes seem to "eat" typed or pasted characters, which was one of my faults here!
                                      Anyway: AVOID, if possible, to copy and paste AT Commands, the Card (imho) might missinterpret that command and responses w/ an error.

                                      Set the cards "usbnet" mode 2 and fix the "serial"-linespeed of that Card!

                                      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,2

                                      1. Write the config to the Card

                                      AT&W

                                      1. soft reboot the LTE-Card to activate the changes (no (hard-)reboot of the whole box necessary)

                                      AT+CFUN=1,1

                                      "cu" will close and you are back on the shellprompt after a while.

                                      1. Create a PPP IF on the GUI.
                                        Parameters depend on your Cell-Provider-Plan to communicate w/ this Quectel device.
                                        BUT: pfSense here awaits a linespeed of 115200 (baud) to sqawk to the Modem-Card.
                                        This should be forced w/ the advanced settings at the ppp-IF page:

                                      Init String +IPR=115200

                                      1. Assign that newly build ppp-If to an OPT-Interface on your box

                                      That will do - I Hope ;-) - Its working for me, but maybe not perfectly described.

                                      Addendum:
                                      Possible "usbnet" Modes are:
                                      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,0 < Default
                                      AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,1 < USB Ethernet IF,* w/ dhcp Server active on the Card. Typically w/ IP 192.168.225.xxx/24, GW 192.168.225.1

                                        Ah, nice. So it was just the console doing something funy at a different baud rate? Nice catch!

                                          @stephenw10 said in Quectel EP06-E LTE Module changes pfSense+ NID after cold start or hard reset:

                                          So it was just the console doing something funy at a different baud rate

                                          Seems to be that 😊 and the pfSense software itself, because of the Baud-Rate while initiating the communication w/ the Card.
                                          Are there any options to change that to a lower or higher rate (i.E. to 921600 Baud -> AT+IPR=921600)? I would like to check that out and measure the troughput w/ different rates ...

                                          Anyway: One more USB/mPCIE Card which can be listed in the docs, I hope. ☺

                                            The actual throughput is not limited by the ppp baud rate, you should see a lot more than 115kbps!

                                            I usually see ~30Mbps here on the Sierra modems. Pretty good signal area. I've seen reports of other getting ~60Mbps.
