    Got it: I now have 4 more serial ports in pfSense :)

    Follow these steps for compiling pfSense 2.2.4's kernel:
    https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=83062.msg454667#msg454667

    Use these tips to create and activate the patch:
    http://technotation.com/2012/09/08/pfsense-and-mobile-broadband/

    Compile the kernel and install it into your pfSense.

    You're in.

    I will try to push my updates to pfsense-tools.

      I am working on an unsuported module as well. I am choosing to do my mods on FreeBSD usbdevs/u3g  first then maybe push them upstream. Compiling here as well! My laptop fan is a whirling loudly.. I wonder if the compiler is multithreaded on FreeBSD11(I upgraded tonight).

      I thought i had "MODULES_OVERRIDE = u3g" set for compiling but it is still compiling everything.

      I am using the same website instructions as you. They have been invaluable as I have no BSD background and sometimes struggle with Linux to BSD equivalents..

        Since the kernel embeds all the modules, you need to compile the whole kernel.

        I'm encountering troubles…  :-\

        I've set up a LTE interface like the one in the screenshot.

        Unfortunately, ppp doesn't connect and I get the following logs:

          Alright, everything is working as expected.

          /dev/cuaU0.2 is the one to talk with.

          Don't forget to put your module in the correct connector (J16) of your APU1 to be able to use the SIM card slot.
          See http://www.pcengines.ch/pdf/apu1.pdf for more details.

          Finally, I pushed my patch to FreeBSD 10.1.
          It should be available in the next pfSense release.

          Have fun !

            Since the kernel embeds all the modules, you need to compile the whole kernel.

            Is this with just pfSense or all FreeBSD?

            In Freebsd, I tried compiling just u3g with its makefile and then copied my modified module u3g.ko over to /boot/kernel/modules folder. Did not seem to work so i assume i need to compile the whole thing with make buildkernel and make installkernel run from /usr/src folder. My modified u3g was smaller in size by 10Kb. I see a u3g.ko.symbols as well and am cluesless.

            Can i just recompile u3g or do I need to do it all? usbdevs file does not need compiling or does it?? Seems like a text file.

            I really don't want old kernel/backup and just want to fixup current one. Am i doing this right?

            Can I recompile a kernel that i am currently booted to and if not then is that why the man has you work on the MYKERNEL?

            I am using this but without a config file:
            https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
            I just want to rebuild Freebsd current kernel, is that doable or wrong way to do it. If it don't work i will just wipe it.

              Perhaps, it would be not running because the driver was for another version of FreeBSD, can this be? (8.3 / 10.1)

                Since the original kernel is compiled with the u3g module embedded, you have to compile a new kernel.

                    I would like to test the Huawei ME909u-523 as that is for North America market. It seems to be rather rare. The bands on the EU version are not the same. The 523 supports LTE on B2, B4, B17 for ATT and Tmobile here.

                    I wonder if the PID is the same as your module…

                        beeloo,

                        is it possible that you post a short manual what we have to do to get the ME909 running in PF?!

                        Many Thanks !!!

                          Did you check at the following post ?
                          https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86064.msg543091#msg543091

                          If you have kernel compilation experience, that's quite easy.

                            I do not realy have experience in Kernel compilation ;-(

                            And it´s a grate topic to learn all this stuff. I only want to run this LTE Modem ;-)

                            Did you make other changes in your Kernel or only the Modem? Maby you can provide me your Kernel?

                                I'm not really sure to know why you get that error, but…

                                ...did you correctly select the /dev/cuaU0.2 port in the PPP interface ?

                                  did you change the mode of the card?

                                    Open a shell via ssh on your pfsense, then install screen, using:

                                    pkg install screen
                                    

                                    then type:

                                    screen /dev/cuaU0.3
                                    

                                    then send the following request to the modem:

                                    AT^HCSQ?
                                    

                                    It should tell you if you have a wireless signal or not.

                                    Regarding the modem configuration, I put:

                                    AT^SYSCFGEX="030201",3FFFFFFF,1,2,80044,,
                                    

                                    Not sure if it's relevant in your case.

                                      ^HCSQ: "LTE",55,51,187,22

                                      if I understand correct the 22 is not a goog strange

                                      where do you put the AT^SYSCFGEX="030201",3FFFFFFF,1,2,80044,, command?

                                        It seems that you have a LTE connection available…

                                        You may put the command as the init string, in the PPP configuration.

                                          i have filled in the init string and have preformed a reboot.

                                          but nothing happens…
