Netgear aircard 340u (at&t beam)

does anyone know if this device is compatible with pfsense 2.2/freebsd10.1? i'm thinking of getting it to use to help out with general congestion and for use when verizon is upgrading crap to deal with the aforementioned congestion. (i have a fairly large data plan).

It appears to be a Qualcomm chipset on the u3g compatibility list for FreeBSD 10.1, so it should work in 2.2. Might work in 2.1.5 as well. It's not one that someone has reported as working, but that doesn't mean anything other than no one has told us it works.

And looking at Netgear Support Page for that product the Linux Support download has files for both QMI and Serial so you may need to do some mode switching to Serial Mode.

I see a "MAC-OS" firmware on the site as well. I am guessing that is the firmware you would need for DirectIP mode as well as support for the Qualcomm chipset in pfSense. I am unsure about that but looks possible with freebsd 10.1 support and maybe the pfSense 2.2 beta.
