      Hy! I have a problem with a USB modem.
      I can't add the ZTE MF190 USB modem, it doesn't appear in the PPP interfaces after i plugged it in a USB port. I have tryed with some other ZTE modems and they all worked just fine. Does this mean that the Pfsense 2.0 release doesn't support this USB modem, no drivers for it yet?

        That may be the case. Anything in the system log when you plug it in?

            That may be one of the modems that requires an "eject" command to happen before it triggers into modem mode. Google around for references to cdcontrol or eject with 3g on pfsense and you should hit on some other people who have worked around that.
