      I have a Sierra Wireless USB 306 3G stick that I'm trying to get to work with pfSense.  I'm fairly new to pfSense and FreeBSD.  Sierra Wireless doesn't provide drivers for FreeBSD (and their support department says they don't have plans to either).  Am I just out of luck, or is there something that I can do to get this to work?

      I tried to setup this 3G stick under > Interfaces > Assign > PPPs > [+], Link Type = PPP
      however, nothing is listed under Link Interfaces when selecting that option.

      [2.0-BETA4][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/root(9): usbconfig
      ugen0.1: <uhci root="" hub="" intel="">at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON
      ugen1.1: <uhci root="" hub="" intel="">at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON
      ugen0.2: <usb 306="" sierra="" wireless,="" incorporated="">at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON

      [2.0-BETA4][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/(32): usbconfig -d ugen0.2 dump_device_desc
      ugen0.2: <usb 306="" sierra="" wireless,="" incorporated="">at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON

      bLength = 0x0012
        bDescriptorType = 0x0001
        bcdUSB = 0x0200
        bDeviceClass = 0x0000
        bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000
        bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000
        bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040
        idVendor = 0x1199
        idProduct = 0x68a3
        bcdDevice = 0x0006
        iManufacturer = 0x0003  <sierra wireless,="" incorporated="">iProduct = 0x0002  <usb 306="">iSerialNumber = 0x0004  <359475021263489>
        bNumConfigurations = 0x0001

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I searched these forums and couldn't find anyone using the same 3G USB stick, and I know this device isn't on the HCL, but thought someone might have an idea :)

      Thanks for any help.

        ugen means that it is not finding a driver on the system for the USB device.
