I have an ALIX APU1D with a Ericsson F5521gw. With PfSense 2.2.4 and setup the PPP connection for the modem according https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Configuring_3G_modems
it tries to connect but drops out when its starts with ipv6

I have an Ericsson Half Card version and it required an custom modem initialization string on the PPP tab>Advanced settings>Init string you want to add:
