I did a (see below) to get the vid/pid

[2.8.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.localdomain]/root: usbconfig -d 0.2 dump_device_desc

[2.8.1-RELEASE][root@pfSense.localdomain]/root:

I can't seem to find the LowRevision HighRevision? So should I make them 0x0000 0xffff?

If so, then below I think is what I should enter in loader.conf or in should it be in
/boot/loader.conf.local?

usb_quirk_load="YES"
hw.usb.quirk.0="0x05ac 0x12a8 0x0000 0xffff UQ_CFG_INDEX_3"

stephenw10

Yup exactly that. And, yes, just set all revisions like that.

@stephenw10

Just one final question, should I place these 2 lines in loader.conf or create a loader.conf.local and place it there?

sb_quirk_load="YES"
hw.usb.quirk.0="0x05ac 0x12a8 0x0000 0xffff UQ_CFG_INDEX_3"

@Qinn said in iPhone tethering:

loader.conf

afaik :
Can get rewritten (modified) by pfSense.
loader.conf.local isn't touched by pfSense.

edit : and both are used/read by the kernel.

Qinn

@Gertjan A bit confused, so I should create a loader.conf.local and save these 2 lines there?

stephenw10

Yes, create loader.conf.local and use that.

Qinn

@stephenw10 Thanks for Chiming in and clarifying it

@Gertjan Thanks for pointing that one out.

@Qinn FWIW, if you want the loader.conf.local file backed up in the config, you can create a custom patch in System / Patches. Since you are patching against an empty file, be sure that you do not enable Auto Apply.
