Huawei e5331 3g wifirouter/usbnic with pfsense need some help
-
Anyone want to guide me on how to set it up with pfSense?
what i want to do is to connect through the usb port.
in windows its a storage device at first, after the driver install it brings a virtual network adapter of some sort
(HUAWEI Mobile Connect - Network Adapter)
(usbcdcncm\Vid_12D1&Subclass_02&Prot_16)if i am not mistaken it would list in ifconfig?
also in in /dev i get a few cuau, ppp wan mode through webui brought no success[2.1-RELEASE][admin@vmsense.localdomain]/dev(14): usbconfig -d 0.2 dump_device_desc ugen0.2: <huawei mobile="" huawei="">at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON bLength = 0x0012 bDescriptorType = 0x0001 bcdUSB = 0x0200 bDeviceClass = 0x0000 bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 idVendor = 0x12d1 idProduct = 0x1506 bcdDevice = 0x0102 iManufacturer = 0x0002 <huawei>iProduct = 0x0001 <huawei mobile="">iSerialNumber = 0x0000 <no string="">bNumConfigurations = 0x0001 [2.1-RELEASE][admin@vmsense.localdomain]/dev(15):</no></huawei></huawei></huawei>ugen0.2: <huawei>at usbbus0

That looks like a device already in modem mode (PID: 1506).
Exactly what devices do you have in /dev? Please copy and paste the output of:ls /dev/cu*What was the result of trying to setup a ppp interface? What did the ppp log say?

Edit: The Huawei E5331 is a mobile hotspot device. Is that what you have? How are you connecting to it?
