      arprequest_internal: cannot find matching address
      arprequest_internal: cannot find matching address
      arprequest_internal: cannot find matching address
      arprequest_intern

      any help trying to get this to work is much appreciated.
      it seems to be a router dongle in some way as with I configure the interface to DHCP I get an ip of 192.168.8.100

        You are better off with an external modem that connects via Ethernet. Makes it completely transparent to pfSense.

        LM1200

        $40 from Netgear, $25 from Amazon

        I have the older LB2120 connected to pfSense for dual WAN failover.

        But I came across this

        Huawei E3372s LTE USB-stick
        Link interface: /dev/cuaU0.1
        Init string: &F&C1&D2E0S0=0

        And this

        Modems reported to work as Ethernet devices
