Pfsense and Huawei E1820 (on the known working list) problem

Phatsta · May 7, 2015, 5:47 PM

Hey everyone,

Currently fighting with getting a 3G dongle working but it's not going so well. The 3G stick is on the list (E1820): https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Known_Working_3G-4G_Modems

This is my usbconfig output

From this info I gather - hopefully correctly - that the modem is on /dev/cuaU0.2. But no worky. This is output on status > interfaces

Now, when I pull and reconnect the modem while PFsense is still running, I get a new set of cua's;

cuaU1.0
cuaU1.1
cuaU1.2
cuaU1.3

If I set the ppp interface to cuaU1.3 I get some sort of recognition at least, but it still won't connect;

I have tested the dongle in my laptop (in the same room) and can connect. Only EDGE, but at least 60% signal so it should be OK. I also tried rebooting the router several times, but if I do I can't get it to recognise the dongle at all, I need to pull and reconnect it to get the above result.

Any ideas?

Some of the modem scripts seem broken these days. Check this post for something to try.

I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks!

I installed usb_modeswitch today in an effort to at least try something, but the application says there are no things to change, and exits. And nothing happens with the cua's either. I'm close to giving up >:(

I am not much help with usb modems. I use Sierra MC7700 internal modem and they have 2 modes of firmware, QMI and DirectIP. So that is the only issue with mode switching I have had to deal with. I handle that with Windows firmware flasher. I have a feeling it could be handled with a modeswitch if I knew what i was doing…

In the old days the mass storage devices had to be ejected for 3G to work. I wonder if that is your issue.

Well if I knew there were a firmware to fix this I'd use it, but I don't think there are. It really bothers me that open source is always like this. Like "sure it works, but you need to do A, to go to B, to reach C, in order to get X, then it'll work". And there's usually not enough accurate documentation, so it's almost always a guessing game half the time. Argh! >:(

I really thought I'd done the right thing when I specially ordered this modem, since it was the only modem I could get my hands on that was on the known working list. It really sucks!

Not sure where to go from here, I really need 3G or 4G to work since there are no more options at the location the unit resides.

bump

Anyone got any ideas?

Ok, I don't know exactly what I did except changing cua to 0.0, now it suddenly works. Can't even explain what I did differently this time that I haven't already tried. And secondly if it'll last. We'll see.

Tnx for all help Phishfry!

just for reference are you using the +CFUN command or is it working out of the box?

Nope. And as far as I can tell, not modeswitch either. At least the cua's look the same as before I installed modeswitch, and the script itself said there are nothing to change. It just suddenly started to work and I have no freaking idea why. That bothers me.
